HYGIENIC ASSESSMENT OF MEDICAL NUTRITION ORGANIZATIONS IN TUBERCULOSIS INSTITUTIONS
A scientifically-based system of therapeutic nutrition aimed at normalizing metabolic processes and increasing the body's immunoresistance will positively affect the effectiveness of specialized medical care, enhance reparative processes and accelerate the recovery of damaged structures and functions of the body. The current standard of food ration for tuberculosis patients was developed in the 40s of the last century and was not adjusted in accordance with the latest scientific achievements of dietetics and gastroenterology. Therefore, there is no doubt that improving the system of medical nutrition for this category of patients is a promising direction for improving the effectiveness of treatment of tuberculosis, which determines the relevance of this study. This paper will consider the current hygienic indicators of the organization of medical nutrition in TB institutions and recommendations for improving the hygienic standards of nutrition. In addition, the importance of proper nutrition in treatment against tuberculosis will be revealed.
