Humans of Healthcare: The (Academic) Nutritionist

Malaysians are often told that we don’t eat very healthy - and this is where nutritionists come in to help guide the population and policies towards better eating habits within the community. In this episode of Humans of Healthcare, we dive into the work of a nutritionist - in particular one who works in a teaching and research capacity - with Dr Wong Jyh Eiin, Head of the Nutrition Science Programme at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
