Wound care

How good nutrition can help patients with wound?

Good nutrition plays a key role in the management of wounds as your body needs increased amounts of energy (calories), protein and specific vitamins and minerals, to support the healing process. Your dietitian or healthcare professional may recommend an eating plan with optimum amounts of energy (calories), protein, fluids, vitamins and minerals to suit your specific needs.
