The Dietetics and Nutrition Department at Nepal Mediciti plays a vital role in accelerating patient recovery and minimizing hospital stay durations, thereby significantly reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections. This patient-centered approach not only lowers medical expenses but also boosts hospital efficiency by decreasing the Average Length of Stay (ALOS) — a key healthcare quality indicator.
With growing recognition of the importance of nutrition in modern medicine, our expert clinical nutritionists utilize evidence-based therapeutic nutritional analyses to identify and address deficiencies caused by illness or trauma. We provide personalized, nutritionally balanced diet plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs, promoting faster and more effective recovery after surgical or medical treatments.
Our department specializes in counseling patients with lifestyle-related issues, including obesity, underweight conditions, and malnutrition. We create customized diet plans based on BMI, age, sex, and height to support long-term health and wellness.
