Kunst op voorschrift

Medical care in our hospitals is getting better and better. At the same time, there is a growing awareness that care should go beyond the clinical: healthcare providers are not only mechanics of the body, they are also caretakers of the soul. According to haematologist Tessa Kerre, art can play an important role in this.

In this Karakters-booklet, she makes a case for the importance of art in healthcare, both for patients and caregivers. She talks about her own experiences and presents her dream project Art at Bedside, a room service for arts in the hospital.
