Casa Ronald McDonald Milano Niguarda was inaugurated on 24 September. An expansion of the previous Family Room provides seven bedrooms with bathrooms and shared spaces beside the paediatric wards. [1]
Stays are free. According to Repubblica’s report, the hospital manages bookings based on the admission, distance from home and family circumstances: this is not a hotel open to everyone. [3]
The bright side
Closeness has a practical side too: getting some rest and preparing a meal without leaving the hospital. [2]
One idea, in simple words
When a child needs to stay in hospital, their family may be far from home. On 24 September, a new place inside Milan’s Niguarda hospital was inaugurated to help families stay close. Here is an example from our editors: imagine a parent needing sleep before returning to their child. Having somewhere nearby makes that task easier. [2]
Called Casa Ronald McDonald, it provides bedrooms, kitchens and laundries. These are spaces for everyday life, beside the paediatric wards: the parts of the hospital that treat children and young people. [1]
The hospital arranges free stays according to families’ needs. Accommodation does not replace treatment: it offers support during a difficult time. The available rooms are limited, so families cannot simply arrive without arrangements. [3]
