National Nutrition Institute

The National Nutrition Institute is the first scientific entity specialized in food and nutrition sciences in the Middle East. Established in 1955, it has since played a pivotal role in improving the nutritional status of Egyptian citizens through scientific research, training, community awareness, and therapeutic services. In 1992, it was accredited as a Collaborating Center with the World Health Organization in the fields of nutrition and training.
Since its establishment to the present day, the National Nutrition Institute has remained a cornerstone of the state’s efforts to achieve optimal nutrition, enhance public health, provide technical and scientific support to governmental and private entities, and build qualified human capacities in the fields of nutrition and healthcare.
