"Teddy Bear Hospital" - a national campaign for health education of children in Bulgaria.

For the third consecutive year Sofia Ring Mall hosts the event, organized by The Association of Medical Students in Bulgaria. The event will take place on 14 and 15 December from 10:00 to 16:00, and is aimed at children aged 2-9. The aim is to show visits to the doctor as something normal and fun, helping kids overcome their fears of medical checkups.

During the campaign, each child will be asked to bring their favourite stuffed toy, which will be their "patient". Medical students will be involved as assistants to the children, who are in the role of the doctor, providing information and health advice to their plush "child patients". Through games and activities, children will learn how to talk openly about medical problems and become familiar with the basic manipulations performed during a routine checkup.

"Teddy Bear Hospital" not only helps children feel more confident in the medical environment, but also provides students with valuable experience in communicating with young patients and building trust. 

The event will also include interactive games aimed at promoting healthy habits, including information on good nutrition, physical activity and the importance of regular health check-ups. Parents will be actively involved in the initiative and receive valuable information on dental care and healthy living.

We look forward to seeing you on 14 and 15 December on level 1 next to the hill in front of H&M.
