A new intensive care ward has opened on a hospital roof in London. It is at King’s College Hospital. Doctors want to help very sick patients feel better. The ward is outside, so patients can see the sky and get fresh air. Nurses will watch patients closely, just like in a normal ICU. The team will also check if this outdoor space helps recovery. They will measure health changes and compare results over time.
