Public and Private Sectors Team Up to Push for Enhanced Nutrition Care in Hospitals

By 0

Health advocates from both the public and private sectors call for improved implementation of the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) in hospitals across the Philippines. The NCP, a standardised approach used by registered nutritionist-dietitians (RNDs), involves thorough evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients’ nutritional needs. This process is crucial for accelerating patient recovery and reducing hospital stays, underscoring that “food is medicine”.
