Prof Dr Elisabeth De Waele, VUB and Head of Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics at UZ Brussels, said: “Malnutrition has a significant impact on patient recovery, complications, and quality of life, yet it still receives too little attention in clinical practice. Through this programme, we aim to support doctors and healthcare professionals in structurally integrating nutrition into medical care. This interuniversity collaboration brings together expertise across universities and disciplines, united by one common goal: better care for every patient.”
