Motorbikes and hospitals

TEULADA Town Hall and the Ugly Motorcycle Club have joined forces to redecorate the Paediatric Emergencies department at Valencia’s La Fe Hospital.

The aim of the new decoration is to “humanise and improve the experience of children in hospital, making the stay more pleasant for the patients and their families,” according to Teulada Council.

The new vinyl decorations have been designed by Graphic Design students at the Barreira centre in Valencia and show animal motifs with rounded shapes and pastel colours.

For several years now the Ugly MC has held the Ugly Day rock music festival in Moraira to raise funds for the improvement of children’s hospital spaces.

Teulada Moraira mayor Raúl Llobell pointed out that “the best reward is to see that we have been able to turn a hospital space into a welcoming, colourful place for children, a gratifying way of bringing smiles to those who need it most.”

Last year La Fe Hospital attended to around 60,000 paediatric emergencies, with respiratory pathology being the most common.
