What is
Enternal Feeding Support?

Enteral feeding involves delivering nutrients directly into the stomach or small intestine through a feeding tube. This is required when a participant is unable to meet their nutritional needs orally. A detailed support plan, overseen by qualified health practitioners, guides safe delivery.
