Dubai: The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) announced the launch of a home delivery service of feeding tubes for patients who cannot obtain nutrition by mouth, the elderly and people of determination.
The DHA signed an agreement with Danone Nutricia Middle East, an international nutrition company specialising in healthy nutrition, patient food and food supplements.
This new service will save patient’s time and effort, as instead of going to DHA hospitals on a monthly basis to receive their prescribed feeding tubes, they will be able to receive the service from the comfort of their homes from the distributor directly under the direct supervision of the authority’s clinical nutrition department.
The new service will also include nurses who will monitor the feeding tube process and educate the patient’s family on the best ways to take advantage of the new service.
