Nestlé Health Science is engaging across a broad spread of chronic medical conditions which are placing an ever growing burden on global healthcare systems.
The company’s disease and condition specific approach currently provides nutritional solutions in ageing care; paediatric care; critical care, surgery and GI (gastrointestinal); and diabetes, obesity and oncology.
Nestlé is already a recognised leader in the established healthcare nutrition market, with strong credibility amongst healthcare professionals. Within Nestlé Health Science, the HealthCare Nutrition range of tube feeding and oral nutritional supplements is used under healthcare professional supervision. The tube feeds provide a complete diet delivered into the gastrointestinal tract via feeding tubes and medical devices. Oral nutritional supplements may be used as complete diets or diet supplements and are available in various ready-to-consume and drink or powder formats.
A long standing source of our innovation capability is access to the worldwide Nestlé R&D network, especially the Nestlé Research Centre that focuses on understanding the role of nutrition in health and remains a source of advances in efficacy, taste and format.
