Clinic building was constructed according to the standards required for highly specialized treatment of seriously ill children and to improve conditions to exercise care for them by doctors and parents. Designers, by working with talented students from the Painting Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, created the unique colorful world of fairy tales, favorable in treatment and recovery of strength by the young patients.
