The floor will be replaced, the walls will be repainted and decorated, and there will be separate zones for play and relaxation
In a friendly environment, children and their caregivers will be able to spend time together during this difficult period of treatment.
The hospital in Racibórz is the only hospital in the city, about 1500 young patients are admitted to the pediatric ward every year. Children from infants to 18 years of age are treated here. For several months, the Department has been headed by Jacek Micuła, MD, whose goal is to provide children from the Racibórz district with comprehensive diagnostics and treatment. The new head of the department focuses on the development of the ward and modernity, also understood as a friendly and family approach to the patient.
The Parent Zone in Racibórz will be opened at the end of August this year, and Budimex employees will join in the work, volunteering to help during the last finishing works.

Budimex for children. Parent Zone
Creating more comfortable conditions for parents of sick children to stay with their children in hospital, and thus improving the well-being of children and facilitating their faster recovery is the main objective of the “Parent Zone” social programme implemented by Budimex SA.
As part of the program, special zones for parents are separated in children’s wards of Polish hospitals.
Depending on the needs and conditions in individual facilities, it may be arranging an unused room or a fragment of a corridor, equipping the hospital with an appropriate number of folding beds or sanitary facilities, or organizing a place to rest and play with children. The main objectives of the Parent Zone program are: to provide sick children staying in hospital with their parents for as long as possible, to reduce stress caused by isolation and lack of contact
with the parent, publicizing the problem of limited contact between parents and children in pediatric wards and a real reduction in the time of children’s stay in hospitals.
