On the occasion of International Book Day, Quirónsalud Córdoba Hospital has carried out various activities for its patients. These include the distribution of books to those admitted on Thursday, aiming to promote the positive effects of reading on overall well-being.

The initiative, supported by the Kutxabank Foundation for the sixth consecutive year, has allowed patients to receive poetry books as gifts. The hospital emphasizes that reading is an effective tool for improving mental health, reducing stress levels, stimulating knowledge acquisition, and enhancing empathy and personal confidence.

In addition to book distribution, the hospital's screens display prominent quotes from Cordovan authors such as Antonio Gala, Maimónides, Seneca, Averroes, and Góngora. These quotes invite reflection on universal themes like life, love, and happiness, connecting with the celebration of International Book Day.

Reading not only strengthens personal security and self-confidence by offering perspectives to interpret reality, but also facilitates socialization by providing arguments and topics for conversation. Thus, it stands out as an activity that keeps the mind active and contributes to a better quality of life.
