Article Synopsis
- Hospital plate waste is a significant issue, with a study in Lebanese hospitals finding that 31.4% of food served is wasted, amounting to 366 tonnes annually.
- The study involved 155 inpatients across 16 hospitals, revealing that waste levels were highest in obstetrics-gynecology wards and during lunchtime, with rural hospitals experiencing greater waste.
- Patient satisfaction was generally high, but low appetite due to food quality and location differences were key factors influencing the amount of food wasted.
