PALMA DE MALLORCA, Spain - Aug. 14, 2015 - PRLog -- This Friday 14 August saw the official unveiling of the new pirate-ship-themed CAT scan in the Paediatric Department of University Hospital Son Espases, Palma de Mallorca.  Co-sponsors easyboats (http://www.easyboats.com/) were in attendance.

Lorenzo Vila, Director of yacht charter and brokerage company, easyboats (http://www.easyboats.com/), said, “US tennis champion Arthur Ashe once said:  ‘From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.’  This sums up our motivation to get involved in this special project.  Hospitals can be frightening places for young children, and their parents, particularly when faced with complex machinery in austere clinically-white rooms.  Thanks to top-to-toe vinyl wrapping, the CAT scan is now a bright, fun, happy place to be.  We hope the children feel comfortable here - even when times are tough.”

The 350m² of decorative vinyl gives Son Espases entry into a very select group of hospitals to implement this idea, alongside the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York, the Hospital Municipal Jesús in Río de Janeiro and Hospital San Juan de Dios in Barcelona.  In each case they’ve proven that this fantasy décor creates a warm, inviting, relaxing atmosphere and reduces levels of anxiety - making life easier for patients and professionals alike.  The number of patients who need sedation to conduct a scan is reduced by 20% - a significant amount considering Son Espases carries out around 4,000 CAT scans in this room each year.

Also in attendance at this special inauguration were Minister of Health for the Balearic Islands, Patricia Gómez, Managing Director of University Hospital Son Espases (http://www.hospitalsonespases.es/index.php?lang=es), Víctor Ribot, Director of Healthcare for the Health Service, Nacho García, designer Kiko Sebastià, and co-sponsors Pirates Adventure (http://www.piratesadventure.com/) and Rotula2 (http://www.rotula2.es/), the latter also responsible for installing the stunning nautical backdrop.
