Department of Dietetics - Sir Ganga Ram Hospital
At Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, the Department of Dietetics serves an essential part in the patient's holistic care and healing process.
Our mission is to offer skilled, evidence-based nutritional intervention personalized to meet the distinct medical, metabolic, and lifestyle needs of each person. We take the stance that nutrition is more than just part of recovery—nutrition is key to healing, disease management, and sustainable health.
Our team of highly trained and experienced dietitians works in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary group of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare specialists to incorporate nutrition into the complete treatment plan without any seams. Whether treating chronic clinical conditions, facilitating post-operative recovery, or counseling lifestyle changes, we guarantee that every patient is provided with a tailored nutritional strategy based on scientific evidence, cultural awareness, and real-world applicability.
From in-patient therapy diets to out-patient nutritional guidance, our offerings are designed to provide consistent, empathetic, and effective dietary care. Our vision is to educate patients with the information and resources they require to make educated food decisions, enhance their health outcomes, and live healthier.
