HISPASAT renews its collaboration with Fundación ATRESMEDIA

Hispasat renew agreement FundacionATRESMEDIA

HISPASAT, the Spanish telecommunication satellite operator, has renewed its agreement with Fundación ATRESMEDIA once again this year to collaborate in providing a satellite broadcast of the FAN3 television channel, dedicated to hospitalized children. This initiative forms part of the Foundation’s Humanising Children’s Hospital Programme.

The satellite operator helps broadcast this channel to 165 hospitals in all of Spain’s autonomous communities that currently benefit from this initiative. This way, hospitalized children can have free access to 13 hours of uninterrupted, commercial-free programming from Mondays to Sundays, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. All its contents are supervised by the Spanish Paediatrics Association (AEP) and by the Official Association of Psychologists (COP).

FAN3 is the first television channel designed specifically for hospitalized children. The channel features entertainment -series, cartoons- with informative pieces that help children to understand what they are experiencing and to become familiar with the disease and the hospital environment, all in a friendly fashion tailored to their language.

The agreement is part of HISPASAT’s Sustainability policy and its commitment to personal and community development. The operator thus contributes to providing health care information for these children and improving their quality of life during their time in hospital.

The company actively participates in different initiatives that can contribute to helping people with special needs or in vulnerable situations, such as hospitalized children.
