Health insurance or subsidy has universal advantage for management of hospital malnutrition unrelated to GDP.

Background And Objectives: Protein-energy and micronutrient malnutrition are global public health problems which, when not prevented and severe, require medical management by clinicians with nutrition expertise, preferably as a collectively skilled team, especially when disease-related. This study aimed to investigate barriers and facilitators of clinical nutrition services (CNS), especially the use of oral, enteral (EN) and parenteral (PN) nutrition in institutional and home settings.

Methods And Study Design: An international survey was performed between January and December 2014 in twenty-six countries from all continents.
