The Sodexo Approach to Clinical Nutrition
Specialised Nutritionists
Sodexo boasts over 2500 Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) globally and is the world's largest private employer of nutritionists. We understand the nutrition needs of patients who have specific requirements as a result of a clinical procedure or a health condition. Sodexo nutritionists partner with hospitals to create clinically relevant menus and to provide individualised, nutritionally balanced and quality meals.
Customised Menus
Sodexo offers a range of specialised menus for different health conditions including diabetes, heart disease and CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). Using our extensive expertise and deep-diving into carefully collected research data on common health conditions, we have designed more than 14 custom diet plans in the Middle East. Each plan is specific to a patient category and can be further customized to meet individual nutrition needs and taste preferences. Our menus are designed to ensure nutritional compliance in the hospital and to be enjoyable enough to inspire people to continue with their plan even after leaving hospital.
