Karnataka Hospitals to Offer Tailored Meals for Patients
The government of Karnataka is starting a new program to give patients in hospitals special, healthy food.
Instead of everyone eating the same thing, the food will be different depending on the patient’s needs, such as pregnant women, new mothers, and children.
The goal is to help patients get better faster.
The program will be available at three hospitals in Bengaluru first.
The plan will cost about 1.37 crore rupees for nine months.
