Treatment and Happiness Cart

As part of treatment, and to bring a positive and cheerful spirit to inpatient and outpatient children receiving chemotherapy for various tumours, a cart will be provided with a joyful design suited to children. It will visit them during their difficult treatment day and hand out ice cream, juices, dairy products and light snacks.

Target group:

All paediatric patients, both outpatients and inpatients, at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre – Riyadh and King Fahad National Centre for Children's Cancer – Riyadh.

Location:

  • King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre – Riyadh.
  • King Fahad National Centre for Children's Cancer – Riyadh.

Financial scope:

SAR 1,100,000.

Project rationale:

  • There is a need to bring more positive spirit to the space and to lift the children's morale by surrounding them with a place that inspires optimism and joy.

Facts and figures:

  • Around 80,000 children (outpatients and inpatients) will benefit from this cart each year.
