Healing art

Art not only has the power to inspire, stimulate the imagination and inspire certain moods - its therapeutic effect is also used in medicine to support the healing process. Medpark Foundation launches the project "Healing art", to promote this concept in the Republic of Moldova and create a collection of photos that can be used by medical institutions in the country.

Photographic art against stress and pain

Tatiana Mendes, psychotherapist: “The environment in which patients find themselves significantly influences their well-being. Nature landscapes, water, mountains have the power to reduce stress, anxiety and negative thoughts. The person suffering imagines himself in that safe and quiet place, the sensations of pain diminish and the thoughts become clearer. At the same time, appears the feeling of gratitude for the beauty of the earth and thus, the desire to live, to enjoy every moment is amplified.”

The Medpark Foundation will fully finance the organization of this project, as well as the decoration of a public medical institution with photos from the project. Also, a series of selected photos will be exhibited inside the Medpark International Hospital.

Elena Mornealo, endocrinologist, President of the Medpark Foundation: “Studies show not only the psychological effect, but also the physical effect that art has on the body. Positive images induce the well-being so much needed by patients, normalize blood pressure, reduce the amount of painkillers administered, promote the recovery process. This project will allow us to apply in practice the experience of hospitals from abroad and to adopt this new concept for our country."
