On the Role of the Arts in Working with Sick Children

"In our ward, children undergo many examinations before and during diagnosis. They often don't understand what kind of examination is waiting ahead, but with a play one can show them what it looks like and how things will go before the procedure." Head physician, neuropediatrician Igor Mihael Ravnik discussed the role of art in working with sick children with Janja Hana Jamnikar and Andrej Adamek, educators at the Children's Hospital in Ljubljana.
