Leiden University Medical Center
In the Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) we strive to improve health care and the health of people.
The health of the world's population is one of the greatest challenges of our time. LUMC believes that this challenge requires a clear vision and mission. With us, education, research and patient care are all under one roof.
Students are prepared for lifelong innovation and learning. Researchers are inspired and put their findings directly into practice. Patients can be confident that they will be helped according to the most current state of science. LUMC believes in healing but also in prevention. This is what we call groundbreaking improvement.
