Erasmus Hospital (French: Hôpital Érasme, Dutch: Erasmus Ziekenhuis) is a teaching hospital in the municipality of Anderlecht, Brussels, Belgium. It is a research hospital associated with the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), and was opened in 1977.[1] It has 1,048 beds and 4,000 employees, treating between 25,000 and 30,000 inpatients and between 350,000 and 400,000 outpatients each year.[1]

The hospital is named after the Dutch humanist writer and theologian Erasmus of Rotterdam who, in the 16th century, stayed in the so-called Erasmus House in central Anderlecht, near the Church of St. Peter and St. Guidon.[2] It can be accessed from Erasme/Erasmus metro station on line 5 of the Brussels Metro.
