Nutrition and Dietetics is a specialized field of healthcare dedicated to the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and management of nutrition-related disorders and chronic diseases. It applies evidence-based nutritional science through Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) to develop personalized dietary plans that improve patient health, support recovery, manage medical conditions, and enhance the care of critically ill patients.

Clinical Nutrition focuses on the nutritional management of diseases, metabolic disorders, and nutrient deficiencies. Clinical nutritionists and dietitians assess patients through medical history, laboratory investigations, and nutritional evaluations to develop personalized Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) plans. These interventions may include therapeutic diets, enteral (tube) feeding, or parenteral (IV) nutrition to support treatment, promote recovery, and improve overall health outcomes.

Dietetics is a branch of nutrition that emphasizes promoting health and preventing disease through balanced nutrition, nutrition education, dietary counseling, and food-based interventions. Dietitians work with individuals, families, and communities to encourage healthy eating habits, improve nutritional well-being, and support overall public health.
