About the event:
"Teddy Bear Hospital" is an educational project for children aimed at reducing the fear of medical visits and exposing them to the world of medicine in an experiential way. Children bring with them a sick doll or teddy bear, and they undergo "medical treatment" with them by medical and health teams. The project allows children to become familiar with medical tools, participate in "medical" examinations, and discuss their experiences in a playful manner.
