The nutrition clinic at MAMC complements our efforts to provide a holistic approach towards effective neuro-orthopaedic rehabilitation and for each patient’s overall well-being. We feel that most therapeutic, pharmacological and rehabilitative interventions would have limited success if a patient were to be on a diet inadequate in terms of caloric intake and essential nutrients.

The nutrition clinic caters to both the pediatric and adult populations, and provides consultations and custom-made diet plans specific to an individual’s disease, lifestyle and nutritional needs corresponding to his/her age, weight and income limitations.
