The
Leiden University Medical Center (Dutch:
Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum) or
LUMC, is the university hospital affiliated with
Leiden University, located in Leiden, Netherlands, of which it forms the
medical faculty. It resulted from the merger of the
Academisch Ziekenhuis Leiden (Leiden Academic Hospital) and the medical faculty of Leiden University in the late 1990s, forming an
academic health science centre. Similar arrangements exist for most university hospitals in the
Netherlands.
