Sunway Medical Centre recently held Malaysia’s
first ever Toyspital, 2017,a fun filled event where 297 children gathered and were
given an opportunity to be a doctor for a day.Organized in collaboration with
theMalaysian Medics International Ireland (MMII) and the Malaysian Medics
International Malaysia (MMIM), Sunway Medical Centre embarked on a quest to
familiarize children with healthcare,using role play to remove their fears of
visits to hospitals.
Children at the Toyspital were invited to bring
their own teddy bears / plush toys and were asked to treat and diagnose their
‘patients’ through the help of seven planned medical stations and commonly used
medical instruments based on their own experiences at the doctor’s office. The little
doctors and patients made their way through stations which includedNutrition, Scanning
and Imaging, First Aid, Surgery, Exercise, Dental and Consultation.
Children from three orphanages (Pusat
Jagaan Cahaya Kasih Bestari, Rumah Nur Sakinah and Ractar Orphanage) and a
private kindergarten (Blooming Tots House) attended the fun filled community
event.
