MSc. Dang Thi Hoang Khue - Head of the Department of Nutrition, Quang Nam Central General Hospital, said that in an era when chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are increasingly common, clinical nutrition is not simply support, but an inseparable part of the treatment regimen.
