Patient catering services

Patient catering and nutritional therapy services are provided by Ravioli.

What we eat can significantly contribute to our well-being. Food and nutrition play an even greater role when you are unwell. Ravioli offers five meals a day ― breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and evening snack ―all nutritionally designed to support your recovery. A weekly menu is posted on the ward’s bulletin board and on Ravioli’s website.

 

 

The total energy content of the daily meals is approximately 1800 calories (7.5 MJ), which fulfils the whole day’s nutritional needs. The menus are prepared in accordance with the hospital food recommendations. The key thing is to ensure food is tasty and nutritionally balanced, but attention is also paid to the amount of fat and salt, and the type of fat used.  Ravioli uses tried and tested recipes and safe ingredients to ensure a consistently high quality of food.

 

 

The basic menu is designed to suit a range of tastes and dietary requirements. In addition to the basic menu, Ravioli also designs special diets for customers with special needs. In some conditions, such as celiac disease, the right diet is the only treatment. Ravioli can cater to highly demanding dietary requirements, for example, for patients suffering from cancer, kidney disorders or anorexia, as well as child patients.

A doctor can refer patients to a nutritional therapist for personal nutritional counselling, if necessary.
