However, some patients in other hospitals are upset that there is no expert on hand to deal with their food requests.
A patient surnamed Li at Dongzhimen hospital is fed up with his bland meals.
"Patients with skin diseases are not meant to eat spicy and salty foods, but everything in the hospital canteen is salty. My only choice is rice or steamed stuffed buns," he said.
Li Gang, a patient at the department of psychiatry of Dongzhimen hospital who is over 80 years old, told METRO that most canteen food is too tough for his few remaining teeth.
"It would be great if a nutritionist could adjust the menu and its ingredients to make the food healthier and tastier," he said.
