At the National Center for Orthopaedics, a newly painted wall across from the pediatric orthopaedic wards has brought smiles to young patients and their families. Featuring playful cartoon animals like a slender giraffe and a charming bear, the artwork transforms the hospital environment into a vibrant and welcoming space for children.

Recognizing the unique medical and emotional needs of pediatric patients, Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital designed the mural with attention to detail, aligning with the age-specific characteristics and psychological well-being of children. The cheerful and imaginative wall art aims to ease children’s anxieties during their hospital visits, fostering a soothing and engaging atmosphere.

The mural, completed in just one week, has been met with overwhelming praise from children and their families. Young patients expressed delight and curiosity about the lively animal characters, referring to the space as their new “animal paradise.”

This initiative is part of Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital’s broader mission to provide care with compassion and warmth. By integrating thoughtful details into its services, the hospital continues to prioritize the physical and mental well-being of its young patients.

Looking ahead, Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital remains dedicated to enhancing its patient-centric approach, ensuring that every detail contributes to a comforting and supportive healing environment for children.
