Department's Services

Malnutrition (both under and over nutrition) especially in children is one major health concern in sub Saharan Africa and predisposes the body to many risk factors.

At FOCOS we help our patients to understand the need for the therapeutic diet which is prescribed by the doctors based on their clinical conditions.
