Since 2007, the University Hospital of Ghent has had a specialized department, the Center for Sexology and Gender Problems. This department focuses on the care needs of adolescents. One way it does this is that it administers puberty blockers in accordance with international guidelines.  The gender clinic at the University Hospital of Ghent was difficult to access for Walloon and Brussels care recipients. This was due to the insufficient capacity, the distance, and the language barrier. Therefore, the need was felt to open a gender clinic for transgender minors in Wallonia as well. CHU Liège opened this on 1 October 2019.

 Finland 
If an child experiences gender dysphoria, they are treated at one of the university hospitals. A decision on whether puberty blockers should be administered is made. This decision is based on a diagnosis made on an individual basis. If so, the child is treated at Tampere University Hospital or Helsinki University Hospital.
