At Holy Family Hospital, we recognize that proper nutrition is fundamental to health, healing, and overall well-being. Nutrition not only supports growth and metabolism but also aids in the body’s repair processes. Our Dietary Department is committed to offering well-balanced and nutritious meals tailored to the unique needs of each patient. We focus on promoting health through a balanced diet, which, combined with regular physical activity, can enhance immunity, prevent diseases, and improve physical and mental development.
The department provides individualized care to patients by considering their clinical conditions and personal preferences, ensuring that each meal is both nutritious and appetizing. In addition to serving inpatients, the department offers dietary consultations to outpatients, providing advice and tailored diet plans as per their medical needs.
Whether it’s supporting patients during their stay or offering nutritional advice to outpatients, our goal is to help individuals make informed dietary choices that complement their medical care.
Our Dietary Department provides various services to meet the unique nutritional needs of our patients, including:
