Program Description:
The importance of proper nutrition and prevention of malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies in inpatients and outpatients has always been raised as a fundamental issue that intervenes in the process of treatment and recovery of patients in all countries. The high rate of malnutrition in hospitalized patients and insufficient attention to the nutritional needs of patients and the timely implementation of nutritional interventions are among the common problems in managing the treatment of patients.
