BAD HOMBURG, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – December 6,
2019 – Fresenius Kabi held its United for Clinical Nutrition (UCN) Satellite
Symposium during the 20th Congress of Parenteral and Enteral
Nutrition Society of Asia (PENSA) on October 9, 2019, in Hong Kong.
The symposium’s featured topic was the UCN
Nutrition Insights Day Asia (NID), a comprehensive survey led by an advisory
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
discuss UCN NID: Prof. Alessandro Laviano (Italy), Prof. Rajeev Joshi (India),
Prof. Han-Hsui Hsu (Taiwan), Dr. Jesus Fernando B. Inciong (Philippines), Dr.
Winai Ungpinitpong (Thailand), and Prof. Jeong-Meen Seo (South Korea).
As nutritional deficits continue to burden the
global healthcare system, the panel of experts emphasized the importance of
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.”
NID results will soon be available at www.unitedforclinicalnutrition.com.
In 2014, Fresenius Kabi established UCN to raise
awareness for disease-related malnutrition around the world. Through regional
data collection and clinical assessment, and tailored events and tools for
healthcare professionals, UCN aims to reduce the prevalence of hospital
malnutrition. In 2018, the initiative expanded in Asia. To learn more, visit www.unitedforclinicalnutrition.com.
