Hospital Clowns

“We are doctors of the body, you are doctors of the soul!” (Alisher Rasulov, pediatrician from Samarkand on hospital clowns)

All over the world, hospital clowns play for children in situations where children experience stress because of their health or situation. Hospital clowns, through their gentle and empathetic play, are able to reduce stress and allow children to be playful. Play is very important in a child’s development.

MCCEE supports the cooperation of hospital clowns from the Netherlands and Uzbekistan. With this, MCCEE improves clown care and provides clown play to as many children with special needs as possible.

In fall 2023 Peter Amesz (former clown at Cliniclowns Netherlands) and Riska Wijgergangs (Clown at Cliniclowns Netherlands) will come to Uzbekistan to give Hospital Clown Masterclasses.
