A new maternity hospital in Taiwan has opened that will offer expecting mothers a calm, relaxing and incredibly cute Hello Kitty environment in which to deliver their children in. Considered to be the world’s first themed hospital, all aspects of the patient care facilities are decked out in a Hello Kitty motif, “from blankets and birth certificates to cots and uniforms worn by the staff.”
The hospital's director Tsai Tsung-chi opened the £2m (T$100m) hospital in his hometown after obtaining authorisation from the fictitious cat's Japanese parent company Sanrio Co Ltd.
Describing the objectives of the hospital, he said: "I wish that everyone who comes here, mothers who suffer while giving birth and children who suffer from an illness, can get medical care while seeing these kitties and bring a smile to their faces, helping forget about discomfort and recover faster."
