title: Hospital dietetics and food service in developing countries: II. Lebanon.
abstract: A survey of 15 hospitals in Lebanon revealed that food service personnel in most hospitals had no training in nutrition, dietetics, or food service management. Kitchen sanitation was inadequate. Therapeutic diets were usually incorrectly planned and seldom used. The need for training food service personnel was recognized only in hospitals with some trained persons on the staff.
