Laughter is the best medicine

Argentina makes laughing a law!

Today it is undisputed that medicine benefits from laughter and humour.

Argentina promoted that thought by obligating all hospitals in Buenos Aires to employ cliniclowns in their children departements.

The released law referred to the hospital clowns as a complementary medicine in order to support the children's healing process. 

In her book "Laughter is the first step to happiness" Laura Chaplin meets the dream doctors, who have made it their voluntary mission to bring joy to the little patient's lives. 

We are going one step further and following Argentina's example: In our Humour and Laughter Manifesto 2016 we demand that every social institutions should employ at least one trained clown. 

Support this proposal by signing our petition "Laughter is a human right" to the UN!
