NDAP to hold annual convention on Feb 21-24

The country’s largest accredited organization of healthcare professionals in the nutrition and dietetics fields, the Nutritionist-Dietitians Association of the Philippines (NDAP), will again lead another series of scientific sessions that aims to address the most pressing issues impacting the profession in the upcoming 63rd NDAP annual convention set Feb. 21-24, at the SMX Lanang Premier Convention Center, Davao City.

Celebrating this year’s theme, “Road to Excellence: Bringing Education and Nutrition Together,” the event reinforces NDAP’s steadfast mission to reach out to its community of practitioners and various stakeholders, this time also focusing on communicating the timely relevance of disseminating factual, reliable information on the latest health and wellness practices and products in this time of misinformation and rampant “fake news.”

According to Eloisa Villaraza, vice-president of NDAP, the organization is adamant in using digital technology to fight off false and misleading online content by spreading truthful, science-backed published information on health, wellness and nutrition.

“Apart from the publication of position statement in our website/social media page and having a pool of reviewers for published content, NDAP is very active in offering seminars with speakers who are the best in their field of expertise and bringing these seminars to provinces so more RNDs can be reached and updated. Also, available soon are articles that will be authored by well recognized health care practitioners in their field,” said Nives Serra, chairperson, continuing professional development.
