| Abstract | In Ethiopia, food service in hospitals is often given a low priority instead of being recognized as an integral and important part of patient treatment and care. A Hospital Nutrition Service Assessment study was conducted to generate evidence-based information on the current status and functioning of facilities in providing nutrition care and to determine the availability of the required essential elements of nutrition services. The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design with both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The study covered 13 selected government hospitals of Ethiopia and 1137 study participants selected from different service delivery units and patients. Quantitative data were captured in Epi-info software and analyzed using SPSS 20 and Microsoft Excel to obtain descriptive statistics, frequencies, and percentages. Analysis performed after data verification, cleaning and checks out for consistency. The key findings of the study were: 1) The majority of the assessed health facilities offered nutrition services and 9(69.2%) of them had staff in charge of nutrition services in the health facility. 2) The majority (69.2%) of the hospitals provide 300 to 600 beds for inpatients and almost all (92.3%) of them provide water from the piped source (for handwashing, drinking, and cooking). 3) Almost half of the assessed government hospitals had catering managers with the educational statuses of degrees and above while 5(38.5%) of them had diplomas. 4) Store status of selected government hospital was good in 77% (95%CI; 54-100) while 23% (95% CI; 2 to 14) was poor. 5) Most facilities have quality improvement teams but regular meetings and functionality is still low. 6) 69.2% had designated staff for HMIS services in the hospital, 6(46.2%) had l register and report clients receiving nutrition services, only 2 hospitals compile nutrition data using HMIS. 7) Among the contacted patients only 58 % were responded as they were satisfied and the rest were not.
