The hospital was created for the treatment of children with cancer and bone marrow transplant requirements, according to Dr. Musa Karakurkcu, the head of the KANKA association and the pediatric oncology department at Erciyes hospital, who spoke to Anadolu Agency.

Karakurkcu told the agency, ”We have six ride-on cars. Sometimes we send the children for tomography and MRI scans while they are in the hospital. They go to other departments in these cars. We used to send them there on stretchers, now we send them with ride-on cars. So they are much happier. They go in a much more relaxed manner. Children who used to go for treatment unwillingly and crying, now get on the ride-on car and look very amused.”
