HOSPITAL FOOD SERVICES

Fresh vegetarian food is served hot to the patients as prescribed by their physicians. Ordinarily, there is no provision to serve meat, poultry or fish. However, in exceptional cases, non-vegetarian food may be served upon special request. Please be advised that Hospital food is intentionally prepared without too much spices / oil / salt. Individual tastes vary so much that it is impossible to provide what each one of you may be accustomed to eating at your home. However, Hospital Food Service will do its best to accommodate your requests, if any.

The Hospital Food Service provides Aqua-filtered drinking water on bed side. Please do not drink water from toilet faucets.
