Universal Childers Day
Children are one of the most beautiful gifts from God, and one cannot even imagine why people would be cruel or take away the laughter from such innocence. But the grim fact is that many countries were (and some still are) not attuned to the fact that children also have rights to grow into well adjusted and good human beings.
It is therefore that the UN General Assembly recommended that all countries should introduce this annual event, Universal Childrens Day, from 1956 to promote the welfare of children. Therefore every year on the 20th of November children and minors are honored and celebrated.
Belhoul Speciality Hospital successfully celebrated the International childrens day on 19th November 2009. Multiple fun filled activities like, face painting, drawing competitions, magic show kept the parents and children totally absorbed into the festive like atmosphere.
Children in the hospital were at their best, phobia free, in fact never wanted to leave the action arena i.e. - Atrium of our hospital waiting bay on ground floor. Magic show was on instant hit, kids and parents were absolutely mesmerized by the clown & the magician. They did excellent face painting also. About 100 kids with their families thoroughly enjoyed the day.
The Take home message for all participants was Department of Paediatrics at Belhoul Speciality Hospital takes care of children and their parents even when they are not sick. We plan more of such fun filled, health awareness activities in future.
Another milestone for Belhoul Speciality Hospital
On August 28th 2009, Belhoul Speciality and Belhoul European Hospital’s achieved JCIA (Joint Commission International Accreditation).
JCI Accreditation arguably represents the "gold standard" for international credentialing.

The Joint Commission’s standards have been highly influential in defining and establishing what constitutes quality and reputability for medical organizations, and their seal of accreditation is seen as a defining indicator of a well run hospital.
Together with the Joint Commission International; Belhoul Speciality and Belhoul European Hospitals are working to continuously improve the quality of care and patient safety so you can be sure that you are healthy you are with Belhoul!
