Wastong Nutrisyon Sa Ospital Act

An Act Institutionalizing the Nutrition Care Process as Part of Medical Care in the Philippines

In plain language

The Wastong Nutrisyon sa Ospital Act would require every hospital in the Philippines to screen all admitted patients for nutrition risk, set up a dedicated nutrition department led by a licensed dietitian, and use a four‑step Nutrition Care Process to create and follow nutrition care plans, with incentives and a seal of compliance for hospitals that meet the standards.
