I. Metshin: "For the first time in Kazan's medical practice, nutrition has become...
(Kazan, KZN.RU, October 22, by Adelya Galiyeva) “Tablet meals” have become available to some 800 patients of Tatarstan's Republican Hospital (RKB) with 13 dietary menu varieties tailored to individual patients. This project for clinics with more than a thousand patients has been implemented in Russia for the first time. Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin was told about the pilot project and its implementation during his visit to the hospital.
Director of the Kazan Department of Food and Public Catering Irek Mukhametshin recalled that the new food production facility was created to serve the guests and participants of the 2013 Summer Universiade. Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov stressed at the time that the facility should be able to serve the needs of Kazan residents even after the 27th World Student Games, especially in catering to social welfare institutions.
Thus, whereas in the beginning, the Department of Food and Public Catering provided meals only to students, by 2014 it catered to five hospitals of the capital of Tatarstan. And on October 15, a “tablet meals” project to serve the patients of the RKB main building was launched.
"Hot bag lunches are prepared at the facility and delivered to the RCH, where they are served on heated trays to each patient," said the department head. He added that whereas today “tablet meals” are served to about 800 patients of the RCH main building, in the new year, they will be made available to an additional 300 emergency patients.
"It's not the way a meal looks or following a global trend that is most important. The main thing is that for the first time we can speak about catering as an extension of therapy. Around the world – and we have studied the experience of Europe, Israel and America – nutrition, along with medication, is an integral part of treatment. Earlier we could not afford it. The RCH is the first hospital in the country where clinical nutrition with 13 menu varieties is available," said Ilsur Metshin, calling the innovation a great achievement of Tatarstan's health service. The mayor also expressed the hope that "tablet meals" will have a positive impact on the quality of patient care.
