UNIKLINIK RWH Aachen

A really quite remarkable hospital situated on the outskirts of Aachen in Germany.

Looking from the outside it might not be clear that this is indeed a hospital. The architecture ventures from normality for a hospital.  

The most striking features are that the hospital is a happy place with patients, doctors and students mingling outside. There are few signs of the flotsam and jetsam litter that adorn many hospitals . The walkways outside are pleasant areas to walk along. There are plentiful buses and taxis. Food is served in a normal environment with even an outdoor burger tent . 

Somehow this place provides much of what goes missing in many hospitals. Put concisely I was impressed.
