Functioning of the Dietary Departments of Selected Six Hospitals

Hospitals today are the apex bodies for provision of medical and dietetic care with the prime objective of disease prevention and health promotion. To accomplish this objective an organisation system should be established in which dietitians and other health personnel should cooperate for the efficient functioning of the dietary department. Health care and diet counselling services for various health problems should be such that the patients do not come back to hospital with the same illness.
