Exciting Update from Therapeutic Nutrition! 🌱

We know that managing diet and dialysis for CKD patients can be challenging, and it often requires constant reminders of what to limit or restrict. That's why we are thrilled to announce the completion of our fourth project for PAEC Hospital!

Our latest contribution is an informative infographic poster in urdu that has been installed at the Dialysis Unit, aimed at educating patients on how to manage potassium in their diet. The poster provides a clear and easy-to-read list of everyday foods, ranked from low to high potassium content – an essential tool to help patients make informed dietary choices.

A huge thank you to our incredible team members:

Aliya Ambreen (Nutritionist, Dietitian, Graphic Designer, Creative Writer) for her dedication and patience in designing and refining this poster over 35 revisions! Bravo, Aliya!
Tabinda Ashraf Shahid (Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Content Creator ) for her valuable contribution, hard work in crafting the content multiple times.
We are proud to make a positive impact on CKD patient care! 🌿
