Description of initiative
The Department of Infectious Diseases and Travel Medicine at the L. Pasteur University Hospital Košice decided to implement an "art in the hospital" program at the request of the patients of the Psychosocial Center in Košice. Hospitalization is a stressful situation for people. The pleasant environment in the hospital significantly affects the health of patients and the cooperation with professional staff enable Psychosocial Center Košice make their stay in the medical facility as pleasant as possible. Their goal is to help patients alleviate their suffering and transfer them to the art world, at least for a short time, by painting and drawing. The corridors came to life with works of fine art that reflect the technique of "encaustics".
