The 30-bed Hau Sheng Hospital in Yuanlin in central Taiwan is reportedly the world’s first Hello Kitty themed medical center. From blankets and birth certificates to bed linen and uniforms worn by staff, every aspect of the Hello Kitty hospital is emblazoned with the feline motif. Patients are welcomed by a statue of Hello Kitty dressed in a doctor’s uniform, before traveling in a Hello Kitty elevator to a pink examination room with Hello Kitty posters on the wall. The hospital’s director Tsai Tsung-chi opened the T$100 million ($3 million) hospital in his hometown after obtaining authorization from the fictitious cat’s Japanese parent company Sanrio Co Ltd.
