What we have been undergoing is that when nutritional support is really required in the early stages of any pathological condition treatment, including COVID19, it can make a real difference to patient recovery time.

Nutrition plays vital role in maintaining health and preventing diseases. Especially the COVID-19 patients are spending around two weeks in ICU, which requires proper diet and healthy food once after coming from the ICU. Due to the respiratory difficulties which adds an extra layer of complexity, preventing patients from eating effectively.

For the Hospitals also its very difficult to provide food and nutrient supplements to patients while treating with required assisted ventilation. So taking proper food and medical nutrition is one of the major important roles during this Pandemic.

Join with us to take the inputs from Dr. Haritha Shyam, Dietician and Nutritionist, Apollo Hospitals.
