CMCH dietician wins nutrition award Ludhiana, May 30 In his keynote address at the award ceremony, Dr V. Prakash, Director, Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore, said the absence of intake of micronutrients like iron, vitamin-A, zinc and iodine in the diet could lead to a lot of metabolic problems in people, especially in children. “When we talk about the right to food, we should also talk about the right to nutrition. While one could feel hunger, malnutrition was something that remained hidden”, he said. According to Dr Molly Joshi, this award was a tribute to the dieticians all over India, working in various set-ups. She added that gone were those days when dieticians were considered as glorified cooks. Today they shared equal platform with medical health care system. It had taken a long time for transition and there was still a long way ahead. “Now a days people have become diet conscious and they understand the need of proper nutritive diet. Girls are extra careful about maintaining a slim figure whereas boys are conscious about their body built. This change has come with education, changing social paradigms and an urge to follow their role models. Because of the changing scenario balancing health and lifestyle is becoming a constant challenge,” she remarked. Speaking on the occasion, Dr John Pramod, Director of CMCH, said that this was the matter of pride for the CMCH that Dr Molly Joshi had been honoured with this national award, first of its kind in India. This will motivate other employees to perform their best. He added that according to the Director-General of Health Services provision, there should be a minimum of one dietician for every 100 patients which practically translated in to a greater number of opportunities for qualified and trained dieticians in the healthcare delivery system.
