Dietetic Services
Hippocrates once said, “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.” Diet plays a crucial role in keeping us healthy, and speeding up the healing process when we are ill. Your daily food choices will affect your health, how you feel today, tomorrow and in the future. Recognizing and acknowledging the close connection between food and health, Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara (THKD) has a dedicated Dietetics service that looks specifically at nutrition both for outpatients and inpatients.
Our professionally trained and qualified dietitians will provide comprehensive nutritional assessment, formulate individualised nutrition care plan and nutrition consultation based on relevant scientific research evidence to complement and support your treatment process. The progress of your nutrition care plan will be reassessed, monitored and evaluated at follow up sessions to ensure achievement of your nutrition goals. The ultimate aim is to empower you with nutrition knowledge and skills to make appropriate food choices and apply practical diet and lifestyle tips to promote positive health outcome through optimal nutrition.
