Our Belgian database holds 779,149 records (as of 5 November 2026); they are not yet assigned to industries. The quote states the size available for this industry.
Export of the whole industry: €329 (excluding VAT). Selections by province, municipality or your own filters are quoted on request.
Official statistics: 90,402 businesses in Belgium according to Eurostat, Structural Business Statistics (sbs_ovw_act), number of enterprises (reference year 2024, Eurostat update of 30 September 2026, retrieved on 4 November 2026). Section Q human health and social work (64,169) plus classes 96.02 hairdressing and beauty treatment (24,106) and 96.04 physical well-being activities (2,127). Businesses are counted, not sites: a group practice or an operator with several sites counts once. This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.
The industry combines section Q of NACE-BEL 2008 (human health and social work) with two classes from personal services: 96.02 hairdressing and beauty treatment and 96.04 physical well-being activities. Pharmacies are separate under Pharmacies, opticians and hearing care.
In Belgium healthcare is split between the federal government and the communities. Hospitals, residential care homes and childcare are approved by the competent community; for a campaign that matters little, but it explains why no single national list exists.
| NACE-BEL 2008 | Official title | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 86.1 | Hospital activities | general and psychiatric hospitals |
| 86.21 | General medical practice activities | GPs and group practices |
| 86.23 | Dental practice activities | dentists and orthodontists |
| 86.9 | Other human health activities | physiotherapy, nursing, speech therapy, laboratories |
| 87 | Residential care activities | residential care homes and facilities with accommodation |
| 88 | Social work activities without accommodation | childcare, home care and day centres |
| 96.02 | Hairdressing and other beauty treatment | hairdressers, beauty and nail salons |
Care providers and facilities appear in several official files. They serve reimbursement, approval and supervision, not prospecting.
These 14 columns are included.
The statistics count businesses; our database starts from places on the map. A group practice with five doctors may be one record; a hospital network with several campuses has more. The quote states how many records belong to your selection.
For care providers in their own name the practice email address is a personal address: email without consent is not possible. Residential care homes, hospitals and childcare are often a non-profit (vzw/asbl) or a company with a general address; there it is possible, with an offer intended for legal entities and an unsubscribe option (Royal Decree of 4 April 2003).
Calling practices during consultations makes little sense and the number is often the appointment line for patients. Telephone prospecting is allowed after checking against the Do Not Call Me list, but in this industry a letter usually works better.

They belong to the same industry. On request we keep them separate based on the category and the name in the source (in the statistics, class 96.02, and 96.04 for wellness); our records do not yet carry a NACE-BEL code. A list for medical supplies therefore does not include them unless you ask.
Only with consent if the doctor works in their own name, because the address is then personal. For a group practice organised as a company, a general address is possible without consent, with an offer intended for legal entities (Royal Decree of 4 April 2003).
