A new study conducted by researchers at UNamur confirms a fact that is still largely unknown to the general public: not all combined oral contraceptives expose women to the same risk of venous thrombosis. This research was conducted by Lucie Raskin, a researcher at the University of Namur, under the supervision of Professor Jonathan Douxfils, a specialist in thrombosis and the effects of hormones on coagulation. This represents a significant advance in public health.

Research in the Service of Medicine.Thanks to research in the biomedical field, our life expectancy has increased significantly.

The fight against disease is both a science and an art. Knowledge of the human body, diseases, and medications is the key to fighting disease.

In response to the growing shortage of general practitioners in rural areas, the University of Namur is launching a groundbreaking initiative to encourage future practitioners to explore these regions. This year, nine rural placement centers have been established in the provinces of Namur, Hainaut, and Luxembourg, enabling 26 students in the Master’s program specializing in general practice (a joint UNamur-UCLouvain degree) to complete an internship under conditions that facilitate their immersion. Designed to address barriers related to housing, transportation, and isolation, this pilot program has found a particularly promising first implementation in Chevetogne, in partnership with the Province of Namur and several municipalities.
