A hospital at the bottom of the sea

In the paediatric radiology department a sea floor with colourful fish and underwater plants welcomes children about to undergo a CAT scan. With the contribution of Fondazione Prossimo Mio, thanks to pictorial intervention, projectors and 3D technology it has been possible to transform the CAT room and adjacent areas into an imaginary and fantastic world. In this way, a difficult experience that causes anxiety and fear for the young patients and their parents awaiting a diagnosis is transformed into a moment of play and distraction.
The intervention was made possible by the contribution and generosity of several supporters, including the FPM, iBeHuman, Fondazione Barbara Genovese, Ernst Knam and many others.
