As early as January next year, patients from low-income families participating in the Medicaid program in the US state of Hawaii will receive “fresh food prescriptions” such as meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, and fruits from their doctors. According to several US media reports, this is a special program under the Hawaii State Medicaid Program to address chronic diet-related illnesses in low-income communities. Fresh foods your doctor can prescribe include fruits and vegetables, and even yellowfin tuna, beef, chicken, and eggs. The project will be launched in three stages to provide nutrition education programs and prescription food boxes for eligible patients to help them store food, purchase cooking utensils, and gradually introduce “customized medical meals.”
