Diorama made of medical scraps


CABANATUAN CITY - Nativity scenes, tall Christmas trees, lights, a community of faithfuls -- all made of hospitals scrap materials.

Medical professionals and employees of the Nueva Ecija Doctors' Hospital proved their ingenuity as they created expensive-looking Cahristmas decorations and dioramas out of wastes such as used X-ray film, empty vials and rubber caps, dextrose, nasal hosts, among others.

The dioramas, numbering 16, are presently placed in different department areas in the four-storey hospital.

Dr. Fulgencio Ruiz, medical director, said the project which bring joy to patients and visitors alike, also showed the creativity of their personnel.

"You see, you can no longer say these things are made of scraps," Ruiz said, saying hospital officials had to pass the hat to "make them (employees) happier."

Other than electricty to lighten up the scenes, the employees were not allowed to use non-scrap material. The costings shall also not exceed P750, Ruiz said
