摘要:Access to healthcare is deeply conditioned by several social factors such as health policies and economic con. ditions, that vary from country to country. Undoubtedly, hospitals are recognized worldwide as the symbol of the healthcare system in its maximum complexity and they are services that will never decay. As Christine Nickl. Weller and Hans Nickl state: "sooner or later, all of us will enter in a hospital: to give birth to a child, to visit a sick relative, to receive treatment for an acute medi. cal emergency or, indeed to say farewell to a loved one. Everyone will have to enter a hospital at some point in their lives" [1]. Since its origins, the hospital represents the social community and, in the socio.cultural context, the origi. nal values of interdependence and solidarity. Moreover, it embodies the permeability and availability of enter. tainment and cultural activities in order to respond to the community's needs [2].
