Child Friendly Hospitals and Clinics

February 27, 2021 0

Children visit hospitals and clinics as both patients and visitors. These visits can be made stress free for the children and their parents and be the point of cultivation of a positive health-access behaviour in the future healthcare consumer.

Paediatric friendly healthcare spaces need to be :

  1. Safe (height, blunt-edges, padded non-slippery flooring etc.)
  2. Hygiene friendly (since extra contact surfaces are included i.e play-area/toys etc. all these should be hygiene friendly)
  3. Appealing (lighting, colour scheme, noise etc.)
  4. Engaging (toys, play-areas, wall murals etc.)
  5. Compliant with statutory and mandatory healthcare infrastructural requirements (space allocation to each room and bed type, fire safety, direction signage etc.)
