What is the quality of the food in our hospitals?

A healthy and balanced diet has been proven to contribute to a better healing process and reduce the risk of complications. In this context, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann asked the health minister, among other things, how good the quality of the food is in our hospitals, whether regional products are prioritised and whether care is taken to ensure that vulnerable patients also eat enough.

Question

Et gi vill Etuden a wëssenschaftlech Beweiser déi aussoen, dass gesond an equilibréiert Iesse ganz däitlech dozou bäidréit, dass e Kranken am Spidol nees méi séier gesond gëtt.  An enger Metaanalyse am Clinical Nutrition vun 2019 koum eraus, dass geziilt Ernärungsinterterventiounen d’Spidolsopenthalter em 2 bis 3 Deeg kënne reduzéieren. Etude weisen, dass Patiente mat enger gudder Ernärung no enger Operatioun nees méi séier op d’Bee kommen an dass se manner dacks Komplikatiounen hunn ewéi Infektiounen oder Dekubitus. Wann een ze wéineg ësst an der Klinik, dann huet ee méi e grousse Risiko fir Komplikatiounen ze hunn, bis hin zu enger méi héijer Stierflechkeet. Virun allem al a schwéierkrank Patiente profitéiere vun enger individuell ugepasster Ernärung, fir de Muskelverloscht an d’Mangelerscheinungen ze verhënneren. An der Etude The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition vun 2020 ass erwise ginn, dass eng Ernärung mat vill Eewäiss bei Patienten an der Klinik de Stierflechkeetstaux signifikant erofsetzt. Eng gesond Ernärung mat Omega-3-Fettsaieren, Antioxidanten a Ballaststoffer ënnerstëtzt d’Immunsystem a reduzéiert Entzündungen. Dëst ass besonnesch wichteg bei Kriibspatienten, Patiente mat chronesche Krankheeten oder no Operatiounen. Natierlech wierkt eng gesond Ernärung sech och op d’Laun aus, op de Schlof an op d’allgemengt Wuelbefannen.

Allerdéngs héiert een ëmmer nees, dass d’Iessen an de Klinicken zu Lëtzebuerg net gutt wär. Weder d’Qualitéit vum Iessen, nach de Choix wier zefriddestellend. Zum Beispill géingen d’Patienten dacks wäisst Brout ze iesse kréien, woubäi ee weess, dass Vollkarbrout vill méi gesond ass. Et héiert een och, dass de Plateau an d’Kummer bruecht gëtt a relativ séier nees ewechgeholl gëtt.

An deem Kader wollte mir der Madamm Ministesch fir Gesondheet follgend Froe stellen:

  • Wéi gëtt an de Klinicken garantéiert, dass d’Qualitéit vum Iessen an de Choix fir d‘Patienten zefriddestellend ass?
  • Ass d’Madamm Minister der Meenung, dass d’Klinicke genuch Budget kréie fir d’Moolzechten?
  • Sollt net emol eng Analyse gemaach gi vun de Moolzechten, dem Choix, der Qualitéit an dem Närwäert?
  • Wéi ass d’Kachen an den eenzelne Klinicken organiséiert? Gett sur place gekacht, oder gëtt d’Iesse vu bausse geliwwert ?
  • Gëtt opgepasst, dass virun allem regional Produiten am Iesse verwennt ginn a wann nee, firwat net?
  • Gëtt besonnesch bei vulnerabele Leit, respektiv bei Kanner oder eelere Leit opgepasst, dass si genuch iessen? 
  • Gëtt konsequent den Ernärungszoustand vu Patienten am Spidol erfaasst, fir hinnen eng méiglechst ugepasst Molzecht ubidden ze kënnen?“
