Teddy clinic in Gießen: Fun medicine for children from June 3 to June 6th!

From June 3 to June 6, 2025, the teddy clinic takes place on the square in front of the Zeighaus in Gießen, a special event by the medical students at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen. This initiative is aimed at preschool children and primary school children in order to take away the fear of visiting the doctor and hospital stays. According to uni-giessen.de , the children should develop a first understanding of medical processes through playful activities.

In the teddy clinic, cuddly toys act as "patients" who are examined, X -rayed and operated on by the children. Parents, educators and teachers are invited to accompany the children during this special experience. The aim is that the little ones build trust in medicine and feel safe. At various stations you can experience the healing process of your cuddly toys up close, which according to teddyklinikgiessen.de has a positive impact on your attitude to medical treatments.

diverse activities for the little ones

The teddy clinic offers a varied program that includes registrations, examinations and a pharmacy for cuddly toys. In this way, the children get to know the basics of medical processes in a playful way. The project receives support from numerous regional partners who make the commitment in Gießen visible.

The need for such programs is confirmed by similar initiatives that are carried out in other cities such as Pirmasens. Here a program called "Medicine for Kids" is offered, which also aims to take children from medical examinations and to offer exciting insights into the work of doctors, such as psst.de reported.
