The ULS of Alto Alentejo promoted the initiative “Contact with Music in Pediatrics”, bringing musical instruments and a learning experience to hospitalized children and adolescents, in collaboration with the Portalegre Conservatory of Music.

The activity, led by professor Liliana Moreira from the Portalegre Conservatory of Music, allowed young users to learn about different types of flutes, their characteristics, and particularities, bringing them closer to the world of music.
The presence of music in the hospital introduced a different activity into the routine of the younger patients, offering them a moment dedicated to curiosity and contact with new experiences, beyond the daily healthcare they receive.
This initiative is part of a broader concern for the humanization of care, recognizing the importance of providing children and adolescents with cultural and educational experiences during their stay in hospital units.
The collaboration with the Portalegre Conservatory of Music exemplifies the proximity between health institutions and the community, allowing such initiatives to reach those who, due to their circumstances, do not always have the opportunity to participate in cultural activities outside the hospital.
