Dutch hospitals building 'XL-sized' wards for growing number of obese patients

Dutch hospitals building 'XL-sized' wards for growing number of obese patients Dutch hospitals are building special “XL” rooms for obese patients, as the Netherlands’ historically slim and long population gets fatter.

A leading hospital, Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, confirmed that new rooms currently being built will be able to support patients weighing up to 36 stone.

These special rooms will be about 20 sq ft larger, with beds that are eight inches wider, and stronger toilets. The Daily Telegraph
