In a gesture that may moisten your eyes, a hospital in Turkey uses toy cars to help children stricken with cancer to move them around for treatment. The heartening gesture was undertaken at a hospital in the Turkish city of Kayseri.
Anadolu Agency, a state-run news agency headquartered in the capital city of Ankara, shared a video of the children driving around battery-operated mini cars to go to their treatment room. The cars are even decked with balloons to make the children feel a bit cheerful as they battle the deadly disease. Battery Operated Ride On Car

“A great initiative,” commented a user. “God bless,” said another.
Dr Musa Karakürkçü, the head of the Paediatric Oncology Department at the hospital, said, “We want the hospital to be like a playground for children receiving cancer treatment. We are trying to minimise their troubles while they are under the supervision of psychologists.” The doctor further highlighted that the children who used to go for treatment unwillingly and were often crying now seem very amused during the same journey because of the ride on cars.
