Scientific workshop on nutrition in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.

Ninh Thuan General Hospital recently collaborated with the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Ho Chi Minh City to organize a scientific conference on "Nutrition in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, premature and low-birth-weight infants, and cow's milk protein allergy." More than 300 healthcare professionals working at commune and ward health facilities in Khanh Hoa province attended the conference.

A view of the conference.

At the workshop, participants received updated knowledge on three topics: Nutrition in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases; cow's milk protein allergy; and digestive nutrition for infants. The topics delved into how to provide nutritional care for children with gastrointestinal diseases such as lactose intolerance, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and colic; the role of close coordination between nutrition and medical treatment; principles of proper nutrition, the role of breastfeeding, how to choose specialized formula, and how to manage common digestive problems. In addition to updating knowledge, participants discussed and presented practical scenarios, thereby gaining more in-depth, practical, and highly applicable information for treating gastrointestinal diseases in children. At the end of the program, participants received Certificates of Continuing Medical Education (CME).

Participants in the workshop were awarded Certificates of Continuing Medical Education.

Dr. Le Huy Thach, Director of Ninh Thuan General Hospital, said: “Proper nutrition in the early years of life plays a crucial role in the physical and intellectual development of children. However, in clinical practice, nutrition has not yet been effectively integrated into the examination, treatment, and consultation process. This workshop is an opportunity for medical staff to update their in-depth knowledge and promote professional connections between units, contributing to improving the quality of nutritional care for children.”
