Our Nutrition Department offers a comprehensive array of services designed to enhance nutritional status and facilitate optimal health outcomes for our patients.
Our dedicated team of registered dietitians offers personalized dietary counseling, guiding individuals towards healthier lifestyles and addressing a variety of health concerns, including weight management, diabetes, and heart disease.
The Department creates tailored meal plans, taking into consideration specific medical conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions. In addition, we provide essential care for infants and children, focusing on infant feeding and managing nutrition-related disorders in pediatric patients.
For individuals grappling with chronic diseases, malnutrition, or undergoing intensive medical treatments such as cancer therapies or surgery, our department offers clinical nutrition support. We also emphasize the importance of nutrition education, offering programs and resources to raise awareness about the profound impact of good nutrition on overall health.
Our commitment extends beyond the hospital walls, as we engage in community nutrition programs aimed at addressing local nutrition-related issues, such as malnutrition and food security.
At the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital Nutrition Department, we stand dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life of our patients and the broader community.
