Dear colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the autumn meeting of the Belgian Society of Pediatric Neurology which will take place in Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp - part of Elisabeth Center Antwerp, November 9th 2018.

“New Treatments and Ethical Considerations”

New treatments are becoming more and more available for neurometabolic, neuromuscular as well as epileptic disorders in children. However the cost of these treatments raises social questions and the discussion for whom these treatments must be available becomes a real ethical challenge for us pediatric neurologists.

With kind regards,
The team of Pediatric Neurology, University Hospital Antwerp and the BSPN board.
