Condition We Treat

Our experienced dietitians and nutritionists offer solutions to address the following issues:

• Obesity - Obesity is a prevalent health issue in modern society. It is a multifaceted condition in which an excessive accumulation of body fat occurs and eventually leads to health problems. The only effective treatment for obesity is adherence to a nutritious diet and regular physical activity.
• Diabetes - Diabetes is a condition in which glucose levels in the blood rise, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. There is no known cure for this condition, but it can be managed through a healthy diet.
• Anaemia - Anaemia is a medical condition that is caused by a reduction in the number of haemoglobin (red blood cells) in the blood. Additionally, it may be caused by a decreased ability of the blood to transport oxygen. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a diet that is rich in iron, folate, and vitamins during the course of anaemia.
• Kidney Disease - Kidney disease is a condition in which the kidneys are unable to effectively cleanse the blood, filter an excessive amount of water, and affect red blood cell production. To effectively treat the condition, it is necessary to maintain a balance between minerals and water in the blood, which can be achieved through a controlled diet.
• Cardiac Disease - Cardiac disease is a serious condition that affects the heart's structure and function. It can include issues such as aortic aneurysms, heart rhythm irregularities, and more. In addition to taking the appropriate medications and seeking medical attention, it's important to maintain a healthy diet and engage in regular exercise.
• Paediatric Diet - Carbohydrates, vitamins, fats, minerals, and protein are all essential components of a child’s dietary plan. Various recommendations exist regarding how many fruits, vegetables, and dairy products a child should consume at a given age to support brain and growth development.
• Weight Gain - Fluctuations in weight can be attributed to a variety of factors. While some individuals experience excessive weight gain, others do not. One of the most effective ways to improve the condition and regulate weight is through an active lifestyle and a nutritious diet.
• Cancer - Cancer is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of diseases. It is caused by the rapid or uncontrolled proliferation of cells, resulting in the formation of tumours or leukaemias. It damages the immune system and, if left untreated, can spread rapidly. To treat the condition, chemotherapy is often prescribed. However, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is also necessary.

Procedure of Diet and Nutrition Therapy

The Dietetics and Nutrition specialist's goals are determining the patient's nutritional needs, creating meal plans, giving dietary advice, and keeping track of the patient's progress. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical indices, clinical examination, and dietary history primarily determine a patient’s Nutritional Status.

• Based on the biochemical parameters, habits, opinions, food allergies, preferences, and so on, customised diet plans are created. Diet charts are designed according to the patient's medical, social, and physical circumstances, and follow-up appointments are scheduled.
• The comprehensive range of services provided sustains all stages of human existence. Nutritious and hygienic meals are delivered in temperature-controlled trolleys to the appropriate patient and at the appropriate time, under the supervision of the Dietician and Food & Beverage Services.
• Therapeutic diets are given particular attention to address various diseases/ metabolic disorders. 
• Food and dietary service standardisation and assurance are regulated and maintained through Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and are regularly updated when necessary
• Patients are regularly observed and evaluated by a dietitian, and diets are adjusted in accordance with the patient's progress. In cases of critical illness, the patient's nutritional condition is assessed daily, and custom-made tube feeds are prepared for each patient and monitored daily in collaboration with the medical staff. These custom-made feeds assist the patient in the recovery process of the critical illness while preserving the patient's nutritional status, which is essential for the patient's recovery and healing process.
