The aim of this space is to offer patients and their accompanying persons a pleasant and calm environment while they wait. They can enjoy a free cup of coffee or tea, have a small snack, and spend some time reading a book or informational materials.
“Our aim is to ensure that patients feel as comfortable as possible, and we believe that even such seemingly small details can be an important part of comprehensive care”, says Professor Ondřej Slabý, founder of the Center for Precision Medicine at University Hospital Brno and the Kompas Endowment Fund.
“I believe that the opportunity to pause for a moment over a cup of coffee or tea or with a book will help our patients relax and better cope with the time spent waiting for their examination”, adds Dr. Michal Eid, physician of Internal Hematology and Oncology Department, University Hospital Brno and Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, next to whose outpatient office the refreshment corner was opened.
