Nutrition & Dietetics

Nutrition is the supply of materials—food—required by organisms and cells to stay alive. Nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. In a hospital setting, nutrition also refers to the dietary requirements of patients, including nutritional support provided via IV (intravenous) or IG (intragastric) tubes. A healthy diet plays a crucial role in preventing long-term chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It may also reduce the risk of certain cancers and support the maintenance of a healthy weight.

At Dhawan Hospital, the Department of Dietetics is committed to promoting good health through proper food and nutrition. We believe that following a balanced diet can not only keep individuals healthier for longer but also significantly aid in faster recovery from existing health conditions. Our professional dietitians provide medical nutrition intervention, advise on the preparation and consumption of flavorful, attractive, and nutritious meals, and offer tailored dietary consultations to patients and their families.

They collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals to assess patient medical charts and develop individualized nutrition plans. These plans aim to meet each patient’s specific health requirements and address any medical issues through dietary modifications.

In addition to general dietary support, our expert dietitians offer specialized services in managing conditions such as diabetes, obesity, cancer, osteoporosis, pediatric nutritional needs, and renal diseases.
