Description
In South Africa, more than half of adult patients admitted to hospital are already at risk of malnutrition. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) play a role in improving energy, protein and micronutrient intake. ONS also have a positive effect on body weight, attenuate weight loss in acutely ill patients, and in addition help to reduce mortality, particularly in acutely ill elderly patients.
