The guest of honour was Acting Executive Officer (Special Grade) at RIPAS Hospital Saidah binti Haji Wahid.
Universal Children’s Day was establis-hed in 1954 by United Nations (UN) and is celebrated on November 20 each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children’s welfare.
The celebration was held to bring joy among children admitted at the paediatric ward.
The event included fun-filled activities such as colouring, magic show, face-painting, hampers presentation and a special appearance by superhero characters.
It is hoped that the celebrations will raise public awareness on children’s rights and empower them to become healthy and productive adults in the future.
