Basic Hospital Food Service

This book aims to equip students, dieticians, foodservice managers, healthcare administrators, and public health professionals with the knowledge of how nutrition services operate in the hospital setting. The book starts with more general areas, that is, infrastructure, equipment, purchasing, and menu planning, and then moves to more focused areas, such as food production, therapeutic diets, sanitation, hygiene, safety, and quality management. This is aimed at explaining every subject in a rational, understandable, and practical way, incorporating both theoretical and practical aspects.
