Clown visits in the Intensive care unit

Health clown shows for children

Health clowns visit children in the Follow-up Intensive Care Unit (NIP) in Hořovice and at the Military Hospital in Olomouc. These children's entire living space is a hospital bed. Their ability to respond to external stimuli is reduced, yet both the Health Clowns and the nursing staff are convinced that the children are able to perceive, especially music. That is why the clowns use a variety of musical instruments during these visits. They prepare carefully for the visits and undergo regular training in music therapy.

“Visits by children to the NIP are truly exceptional. When I was invited to join this programme, I had no idea how deep we would go. For children, this environment is their whole world. We are very important to them. We desperately need various ‘esoteric’ tools that magically open the way to them. It works incredibly well. Under the influence of music, even a seemingly completely apathetic child suddenly begins to respond..."
