Abstract
: Nutrition means any intake of food, as well as all metabolic processes that occur in the body from
the time of eating it through its use in the energy, building blocks, control and protection purposes. Healthy
nutrition is an important part of not only prevention, but also treatment of the disease. Through two years of
the project Improving the nutritional quality in the General Hospital Pula we raise the awareness about nutrition
through individual and group patient education, the implementation of the international project NutritionDay,
creating out educative materials about dietotherapy and informatization of the hospital kitchen. High-quality
hospital food and patient education about nutrition usually does not give quick results, but we need to think
about long-term results such as shorter duration of treatment, better success of treatment and a better quality of
life for patients.
