The European Federation of Healthcare Clown Organizations ( efhco ) was founded to protect and support professional clown work in a healthcare environment on a European level; in particular caring for hospitalized children, their families and other vulnerable and sick people.
“I would like to prescribe every sick child their own healthcare clown. As a pediatrician I can see up close the effect the clowns have on sick children. Especially because they contribute to the recovery of a child. I could not see a world without them.”
Ines von Rosenstiel is pediatrician at the Rijnstate hospital in Arnhem, the Netherlands
