Nutrition Support Team / Clinical Nutrition Team Development

• There is now an increased interest towards the development of nutrition support team and clinical nutrition practice for the major centers throughout the Philippines.
• The increased activity has been spurred by the involvement of Fresenius-Kabi Philippines to be a partner in this endeavour and currently 16 major hospitals in the country have signified to partner with PHILSPEN in achieving this goal
• May the Lord God bless this endeavour since it is quite a "tremendous" task and a lot of attempts before have failed. Since we all abide by the principle that "With God nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37)" we must make sure that we who are all involved should be "righteous before God's eyes" because it is only through the righteous man that God can make His tremendous deeds happen.
