Dietetics

The Dietetics Department at Al Kindi Hospital is dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate therapeutic nutrition services, recognizing that proper nourishment is a cornerstone of health, recovery, and disease prevention. Our team of licensed and experienced clinical dietitians plays a vital role in both inpatient and outpatient care, developing personalized nutrition plans that support each patient’s unique medical journey.

For our inpatients, our dietitians work hand-in-hand with doctors, nurses, and other specialists to provide integrated care. We perform thorough nutritional assessments to understand each patient’s condition, from managing diabetes or heart disease to supporting recovery from surgery. Based on these findings, we develop and monitor a personalized diet designed to meet their specific needs, prevent malnutrition, and accelerate the healing process during their hospital stay. This collaborative approach ensures that every patient receives the best possible nutritional support, which is critical for enhancing clinical outcomes.

At Al Kindi Hospital, we believe in the power of food as medicine. Our mission is to guide and support you with a science-based approach to nutrition, ensuring you have the tools to achieve your health goals and maintain long-term well-being.
