Accessibility

We are an integral part of Chest Diseases Hospital, providing in-house food and nutritional services that are easily accessible to patients and contribute to the seamless delivery of care. Our services are designed to be readily available and responsive to the diverse needs of individuals requiring nutritional support. 

Communication

The Food and Nutrition Department prioritizes clear and open communication with patients, families, and healthcare professionals. This includes communicating our commitment to providing healthy, quality food tailored to patients' needs and nutritious meals for hospital staff. We collaborate with other departments within Chest Diseases Hospital to ensure integrated care and optimal patient outcomes. We are committed to clear, honest, and respectful communication in all our interactions. 

 Ethical

The Food and Nutrition Department is committed to ethical practices, providing services with integrity, honesty, and respect for patient confidentiality and autonomy. This commitment extends to our hiring practices, where we ensure that all food service labor is performed by ministry-approved and certified staff. 

 Safety

Patient and employee safety is paramount. We maintain the highest standards of food safety, including strict adherence to HACCP and ISO certifications. We are dedicated to providing a safe and hygienic environment, and we implement rigorous protocols to prevent foodborne illness and ensure the well-being of everyone we serve. 

 Teamwork

We emphasize strong teamwork within our department, integrating the efforts of our Food and Nutrition sections to provide comprehensive nutritional care. Both sections work collaboratively to deliver healthy, tailored meals to patients. We value mutual respect, shared decision-making, and collaboration with other hospital departments to achieve our goals. 

 Education & Training

The Food and Nutrition Department emphasizes continuous learning and development. We support our employees' continued education and facilitate annual participation in specialized courses from the central Food and Nutrition Administration. Our food service staff also undergo semi-annual assessments and appraisals to ensure ongoing quality improvement. We support the Ministry of Health fellowship program by providing practical experience for students from the Public Authority of Applied Education and Training and facilitating initial rotations for new employees.
