By taking into account the nutritional habits of the patient by interviewing the patients or their relatives, all controls are carried out in the preparation of the menus to be included in the determined nutrition therapy until these menus reach the patients. When necessary, patients are trained about their nutrition at home during their stay in the hospital, and nutrition treatments are organized and followed.

In addition, in line with the requests from private institutions and organizations, nutrition and dietary consultancy and planning of institution-specific menus are also provided. Seminars, training, and nutrition consultancies are given outside the hospital, and studies are carried out to inform and raise awareness of the public on nutrition issues by taking part in the written and visual press.
