common complication of pediatric malignancy and its treatment.
The nutricare program aims to improve treatment tolerance and reduce the infection
by providing adequate nutritional support.
Under our Nutricare program, Hope gives nutritious meals every day under the
supervision of a pediatric-onco nutritionist. It provides nutritional counseling to
cancer-diagnosed children in hospital wards, who reside at HOPE Homes and short-stay
homes.
HOPE is planning to add more supplements to children under the severe acute
malnutrition ( SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition ( MAMA) category.
