Everyone deserves good health
It is a fundamental human right that motivates us at the Institute of Tropical Medicine to do our best every day. We believe that combining scientific research, education, medical service delivery and international partnerships is crucial to fighting current and future diseases. Our mission is to deliver science for worldwide health, an endeavour to which you can contribute as well.

Tax benefit
You will receive a tax certificate if your annual donation amount is 40 euros or more. This certificate entitles you to a tax reduction of up to 45% (under the terms of Article 145/33 of the Income Tax Code 1992). A donation of 100 euros will actually cost you only 55 euros. Tax certificates are issued by the federal government, but you will receive yours from ITM. We will send it to you by post in the first months following the year of your donation(s).
Duo bequest
The Flemish government has abolished the tax benefit for duo bequests. If you have already drawn up your will, it will have different consequences than what you had in mind. Your notary can give you more information about the possibilities.
