Ordering

Your healthcare professional is responsible for creating your approved nutrition plan under Abbott HENS and notifying DHL of this plan. If you have any questions about your nutrition plan or the products you can order under that plan (for example, product usage or effects), speak with your healthcare professional.

It is important to remember to let your healthcare professional and/or DHL, as relevant, know if you have any change in circumstances, including for example, if your health situation changes (in which case please contact your healthcare professional who might need to change your nutrition plan and therefore the products you order), or your delivery address (or any other delivery instructions) changes so that DHL can deliver to you correctly.
