Teddy bear Hospital

During Teddy Bear Hospital we simulate a hospital environment in which young children take care of their "ill" stuffed animals, under the supervision of medical students.

DISCOVER

Children can nurse their teddy bears back to health through specialised stations. Here they discover a range of medical procedures.

MISSION

After Teddy Bear Hospital children feel more comfortable visiting healthcare workers and healthcare facilities. They are more informed about medical procedures and their goals.

Heart for Life

Cardiovascular disease remains the primary cause of death for adults in Belgium, making cardiovascular health an important public health concern. Every year we organise Heart for Life, an awareness campaign that targets people above the age of 45.

ANALYSE

Get your blood pressure, BMI and cholesterol assessed. Students will then discuss your smoking behaviour, activity level and dietary habits. With this information we will estimate your personal cardiovascular risk.

MISSION

All people above 18 years old in Belgium are made aware of the risk factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. People can implement lifestyle changes that have a reduction of cardiovascular disease as a result.
