Dietetics & Nutrition
Most of the people take the food they eat for granted but only few of them are consciously aware that the diet and dietary habits play a critical role in determining the health and overall well-being. Like medicine, diet is also a crucial component of the healing process. It plays a key role in the treatment and management of all disease conditions, especially certain ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiac, renal and gastrointestinal disease. Considering its significance in healing, the Dietry department of the Hospital makes a systematic effort to provide a quality diet to all in-patients and diet consultation to out-patients. To achieve these objectives, the department functions under the supervision of highly qualified and professional dietitian.
