Food is one of the most basic human needs for healthy wellbeing and survival, yet too many hospitals fail to give nutritional care enough priority in their day-to-day practice. So, why isn't more being done to stamp out this problem once and for all? Three years on from the launch of Age Concern and Help the Aged's Hungry to be Heard campaign to raise awareness of this issue, we're still hearing shocking stories from relatives about older people still not getting the right food and support they need to eat in hospital.
食物是人类健康幸福和生存最基本的需求之一，但太多医院在日常工作中没有给予营养护理足够的重视。那么，为什么没有采取更多措施一劳永逸地解决这个问题呢？自“关注老年人”组织和“帮助老年人”组织发起“渴望被倾听”运动以提高对这个问题的认识三年以来，我们仍不断从亲属那里听到令人震惊的故事，讲述老年人在医院仍得不到他们所需的合适食物和饮食支持。
