Nutrition Care Services
The Nutrition Department at AIC Kijabe Hospital consists of a dedicated team of nutritionists/dietitians who provide Medical Nutrition Therapy for both adult and pediatric patients/clients. Our trained registered nutritionists/dietitians provide evidence-based information on food and nutrition related issues. This is either through the promotion of good eating habits or in the dietetic treatment of diseases and disorders on the nutritional needs of patients to promote optimal nutrition, health and wellness.
This is done through Individual nutrition assessment, nutrition education for disease prevention and nutrition counseling for chronic conditions for all age groups which are essential components of a comprehensive disease management and wellness program. The nutritionists/dietitians also work together with other healthcare professionals in multi-disciplinary teams. They are also involved in food services in the development of therapeutic diets, research and community outreach services.
