Rising fuel prices in Belgium directly impact home healthcare providers’ daily lives. Nurses traveling to patients’ homes face higher costs, particularly for gasoline and diesel.
Sylvie, a home nurse, drives approximately forty thousand kilometers every single year.

Colleagues in congested areas like Brussels encounter even greater transportation cost burdens now. Without support, continuing essential home care services becomes an increasingly difficult financial challenge.
