The Children’s Outpatient Department sees over 5,500 thousand of these children with a number of these patients having complex and life threating conditions which require several follow up appointments and procedures throughout their young lives.
In 2019, thanks to the many generous donations received, Good Hope Hospital was able to complete the refurbishment at the Children’s Outpatients Department. The department has now completely transformed into a more child-friendly, calm, colourful and enjoyable area.
Melanie Stanyer, Paediatric Clinic Clerk at Good Hope Hospital’s Children’s Outpatients Department, said: “The new department is so incredible and beautiful. Even the design and the wall art is making a huge difference to the patients who are treated here, the brightness really does make them feel less weary and anxious about being in hospital. Children are now able to play with a range of toys including iPads, a floor projector and books that help keep them occupied whilst waiting for their appointments, and the staff love the new department, it’s such a nice environment to work in.”
