On-Site Activities for Patient Day
On Patient Day during Malnutrition Awareness Week, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities are warmly invited to join the movement against malnutrition by organizing on-site events tailored to their communities. These activities are a valuable way to raise awareness, educate, and engage patients, caregivers, and staff in the importance of nutritional health.
