board and supported by Fresenius Kabi that provides insights into clinical
nutrition practices in 83 hospitals in India, Indonesia, the Philippines, South
Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Leading clinical nutrition experts were present to

Prof. Han-Hsui Hsu (Taiwan), Dr. Jesus Fernando B. Inciong (Philippines), Dr.
Winai Ungpinitpong (Thailand), and Prof. Jeong-Meen Seo (South Korea).

prioritizing patients' nutritional needs in order to effectively enhance
post-admission recovery. Prof. Seo said, "The time is now. No more excuses. We
must work together to bring clinical nutrition forward."
