Bertha Gxowa Hospital recorded a documentary, BGH Dietetics Talk Show, to create awareness of dieticians and their work.<\/p>\n
The documentary was shot in the form of a talk show, at the hospital, during Dieticians\u2019 Week, which took place from June 12 to 16.<\/p>
The shooting of the documentary involved community members being interviewed by the hospital\u2019s dietician, Nikiwe Kgomo.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe aim is to spread the word on the vast roles and functions of dietitians,\u201d said Kgomo.<\/p>
\u201cWe have noticed that not a lot of people know about dieticians or where to find them and we want to alleviate that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a dietician is, what dieticians do and where to find one were among the questions asked.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to celebrating Dieticians\u2019 Week, \u201cAsk a Dietician\u201d stands were put out throughout the week where people could ask questions pertaining to nutrition.<\/p>\n
Kgomo said the stands were put up at different locations in Germiston.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want people to know where and who to ask questions about nutrition because we feel we are experts when it comes to nutrition,\u201d said Kgomo.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople often feel it is easy to search on the internet to find the right answers and that is not always safe and the information is not always accurate.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have to find the right people to answer questions.\u201d<\/p>\n
