There are some less-known areas in hospitals and healthcare, but they are no less important for that. Kitchenettes are the perfect example.
What is the function of a kitchenette
Kitchenettes are spaces designated for medical staff, where they can prepare and consume light meals and drinks.
By law there must be a room where staff, patients, and doctors can get some rest: kitchenettes have the crucial function of providing a space detached from the inpatient unit, where to improve the well-being of the healthcare personnel.
In these spaces, medical staff can catch their breath, recover from busy work shifts and reduce stress in a welcoming and humane environment.

What CFS Italia recommends for kitchenettes in a hospital
Furniture for kitchenettes has to be functional, highly resistent and easy to clean. The ideal materials are stainless steel and laminate: both are durable and hygienic.
CFS Italia can customize any furniture for kitchenettes, as we did in the project for Ospedale Maggiore in Bologna. To know more about this or to get a free, no-obligation quote, contact us.
