Alin Derom appointed as chair of the eHealth management committee

A royal decree of October 27, 2026 appoints Alin Derom as chairman of the management committee of the eHealth platform for a six-year term, effective November 1, 2026. The decision was published in the Belgian Official Gazette (Moniteur belge) on November 12, 2026, pages 60046 and 60047, under reference 2026/202924. A second royal decree dated the same day, referenced 2026/202930, proceeds in the same movement to appoint all members of the committee.

Two texts, one effective date

Both acts appear under the “Other decrees” section of the Belgian Official Gazette, under the heading of the Federal Public Service Social Security. They share the same date, October 27, 2026, and the same entry into force, November 1, 2026, meaning an effective date eleven days prior to publication. The first text is limited to the chairmanship: Alin Derom is appointed to lead the management committee for six years. The second is titled “Appointment of members” and simultaneously covers both full members and alternates.

The publication therefore does not renew a single individual: it installs a complete team, divided into nine categories of actors from the healthcare and social protection system.

Nine colleges, twenty-three full members

The management committee is composed of 23 full members, distributed as follows, with the numbers announced in the Belgian Official Gazette:

• National Intermutualist College (7): Inge Vandekerchove, Christine Miclotte, Fabien Delcourt, Frédéric Depauw, Pierre Cools, Stijn Vander Elst, Thibaut Duvillier.
• Healthcare Providers (7): Pierre Vanhoorde, Mark Helbert, Siegfried Van Eygen, Hendrik De Rocker, Hendrik Van Gansbeke, Peter Raeymaekers, Denis Herbaux.
• National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance (2): Mickaël Daubie, Brecht Stubbe.
• FPS Public Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment (2): Tom Van Renterghem, Dirk Ramaekers.
• FPS Social Security (1): Julie Clément.
• Federal Healthcare Knowledge Centre (1): Stephan Devriese.
• Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products (1): Hugues Malonne.
• Order of Physicians (1): Christel De Pooter.
• Order of Pharmacists (1): Rien Marinus.

The two largest delegations—insurers and healthcare providers—alone account for fourteen of the twenty-three seats, or nearly two-thirds of the body.

Twenty-two alternates, one empty slot

The same decree 2026/202930 designates 22 alternate members, called upon to sit in place of the full members. Among them are notably:

• for the National Intermutualist College: Evy Baert, Laurence Dauginet, Lien De Vos, Nicolas Van Mele, Pieter Vandenbroucke, Carina Bonnewyn, Renaud Boverie;
• for healthcare providers: Didier Du Boullay, Christian De Pauw, Marie-Eve Janssen, Paul Perdieus, Diane De Winter, Margot Cloet, Aline Hotterbeex;
• for the RIZIV/INAMI: Pedro Facon, Yves Lahaise;
• for the FPS Public Health: Sabine Stordeur, Carolien Sonck;
• for the FPS Social Security: Nick Geldhof;
• for the Federal Healthcare Expertise Centre: Cécile Camberlin;
• for the FAMHP: Pascal Giloteau;
• for the Order of Pharmacists: Arnaud Nicolas.

The list of alternates ends with these twenty-two names: no replacement is planned for the representative of the Order of Physicians, Christel De Pooter.

Scope of the appointment

With this double decree, the chairmanship and all seats of the management committee of the eHealth platform are filled on the same time basis, that of November 1, 2026, with the chairmanship running for six years. Readers of the Belgian Official Gazette will find there the exact composition of the body that brings together, around the same table, insurance organizations, healthcare providers, health insurance, federal health and social security administrations, agencies, and professional orders — providing a snapshot, for the opening legislature, of the balance between the stakeholders involved.
