UPAC donated specialized medical gowns and child-friendly medical hand wash dispensers to the NBK Children Hospital for Hematology & Oncology. The donated gowns and dispensers benefited an estimated 150 children. The gowns were fashioned with colourful prints and shapes, an intentional contrast to the usual medical white. Bright colours in pediatric wards have been shown to create a more welcoming environment for patients, particularly children who may feel psychosocial stress as a result of the treatment.
The gowns were also practically designed to allow medical teams to provide medical care to the children in more comfortable procedure. Meanwhile, the child-friendly hand wash dispensers were posted throughout the hospital, dispensing liquid soap to help promote cleanliness concept within children in the hospital. The dispensers met international health and safety regulations.
