In 2023, around 3,423 people underwent euthanasia in Belgium. Although some cases took place in nursing homes, 32 percent of Belgian patients were euthanized in hospitals, making hospitals the second most common place. In 2023, one's home was the most commonplace for a Belgian patient to be euthanized. Such a place to practice euthanasia could be directly influenced by the patient's wish to be at home in their last moments.
