The European Medical Students' Association organized the event "Teddy Bear Hospital" for displaced children. Teddy Bear Hospital (TBH) is an project, whose aim is to reduce childhood anxiety about medical environments, procedures and professionals. TBH educates children about healthcare in a playful way children can understand.
«We really like to communicate with children in a playful way when we treat the Teddy Bears. Together we help Teddy Bears to get well and it's very interesting, - says project manager Yulia Sverdel. - We perform various medical manipulations, explain how to brush your teeth properly, how to protect your vision, how to apply bandages».
Twenty participants of the camp for internally displaced children «Kamianytsia.Vilna» took part in this event. According to Iryna, the whole next day the kids were “playing doctor”.
The next event will take place on Saturday, April 30th, at 12.00 in the art space "Vagabundo" (Pylyp Orlyk str., 7). Medical students invite children and their parents.
Glory to Ukraine!
