Overview

Dietetics services in a hospital focus on providing expert nutritional care and guidance to patients to support their recovery and overall well-being. Our dietitian will work closely with medical teams to assess each patient's nutritional needs based on their medical condition, age, and lifestyle.

Key Aspects of Dietetics Services

Nutritional Assessment

The dietitian evaluates the patient's dietary habits, medical history, and lab results to identify any nutritional deficiencies or imbalances. This helps to create a personalized nutrition plan.

Dietary Counseling

Patients receive advice on what foods to eat and avoid, considering their health condition. This may include managing specific conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or kidney issues through diet.

Therapeutic Diets

For patients with specific health conditions, dietitians design tailored meal plans. These diets aim to support recovery, manage symptoms, and promote long-term health. Examples include low-sodium diets

Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition

For patients who are unable to eat normally, dietitians assist with the planning and administration of tube feeding (enteral nutrition) or intravenous feeding (parenteral nutrition).

Patient Education

Dietitians provide information and education to patients and their families on healthy eating habits, cooking methods, and portion control to help them make informed food choices after discharge.

Overall, our dietetics services aim to optimize patient health by ensuring they receive the right nutrition during their hospital stay and after they leave, contributing to faster recovery and better health outcomes.
