TESTIMONIALS
We are conscious of the enormous benefit that music can have on a hospitalisation, in which a child not only has to cope with an illnes, but also with the psychological consequences this can have: despondency, feeling separated from their surroundings, their family, their friends… it is because of this that from the Pediatric Social Group (Obra Social Pediatría) we consider it essential to care for our children in a multidisciplinary environment, not only from an obvious point of view, the hospital, but from one that cares for their general well-being and, in this, SANARTE plays a fundamental role, which is a huge help for us and one which we have counted for a long time. Thank you SANARTE for your honest and committed collaboration.
