Rheuma.be Professional (KBVR-SRBR) is a scientific association, whose members are Belgian rheumatologists and people involved in the treatment of patients with rheumatic diseases.

We help our members to provide optimal care and improve the quality of life of patients with rheumatic diseases.

Our main role is:

  • Educating and sharing information on rheumatic diseases
  • The promotion of scientific progress in our field of expertise
  • Awareness raising
  • Being the voice of rheumatologists on important social debates in our field (reimbursement of drugs etc…) in close collaboration with the Professional Association of Rheumatologists.
