Maasstad Hospital is a large, busy hospital in Rotterdam. The hospital meets all safety standards and is at the forefront of child friendly care. Therefore, we were delighted to start a collaboration with the Hospital to create child friendly play areas.
The brief was to add a kids’ corner in multiple locations around the hospital with the same look and feel, to make it easy for the children to recognize them. The monkey, named Monkie Maas, is a friend to all the children in the hospital and can be found in every play concept.
A safe and recognizable place to play
At first, IKC worked together with Miranda van Leeuwen, from Maasstad Hospital, to create the concept and implement a number of kids’ corners in various waiting areas. The response was so good that they decided to add more play concepts throughout the hospital.
Also looking for a suitable kids' corner for several departments? We can develop a concept for your hospital that you can distribute among the departments.
‘Onze doctoren zien dagelijks dat kinderen relaxter zijn op het moment dat ze een spreekkamer binnenkomen, wat het maken van afspraken makkelijker maakt.’
