Recent innovation, which we hope will affect more and more the construction of modern pharmacies, is the thermal cradle.
It is a cradle, the modern version of the medieval Wheel of Exposed, placed in a special room designed to ensure the safety of the baby and respect the privacy of the mother, because communicating with the outside world with an electronic shutter, which closes soon when the child is deposited, ensuring him prompt medical intervention.
The first installation is due to initiatives such as the " Progetto ninna ho "for the protection of abandoned children, whereby the first cradles were positioned at the main public hospitals in Italy (between University Hospital Federico II). The enlargement of the initiative to pharmacies, the first of which is to Colle Prenestino in Rome, is due to the project " La Farmacia un bene in Comune ", accompanied by support measures for mothers.
