Bubbles of Imaginary

Project title

Bulles de l’Imaginaire

Description of initiative

Bubbles of Imaginary is the first project of the Doctors of Imaginary Association, dedicated for children aged 4 to 16. It was set up in close collaboration with the team of the Immuno-Hematology and Pediatric Rheumatology Unit of the Necker Hospital - Enfants Malades, in 2003. It has been ongoing since September 2004 and contributes to better living during the time of hospitalization and bone marrow transplant protocol. Frédérique Subtil has taken over from Laurence Bosi since 2011 on this program. She intervenes individually at the bedside of patients, two afternoons a week.
