Abstract
A hospital's dietary service plays a crucial role in improving the health of hospitalized patients and enhancing the hospital's reputation. To ensure a high-quality dietary service, careful planning, proper layout, systematic menu planning, and sufficient assistance and supervision during meal offerings are essential. The dietician or food service manager is responsible for ensuring that patients receive a well-prepared, balanced diet in an aesthetically pleasing manner. The individual in charge of dietary services oversees inpatient catering, diet counselling, and commercial catering. Additionally, they are responsible for education, training, and research.
