History and Goals of Cyprus Dietetic and Nutrition Association (CyDNA)

History

1991- "Cyprus Association of Food Scientists/ Technologists and Dietitians "Food Scientists,
Food Technologists and Dietitians were grouped together due to the small number of the professionals of the different specialisation's working in Cyprus at that time. "Food" and its relation to the different professions, and the need to be established as professionals in Cyprus brought them together.

1996- Submission for approval and approval of  "the Law for Registration of Dietitians, Food Technologists/Scientists in Cyprus  [N31(I)/96] by Cyprus House of Representatives.
                               
The Ministry of Health appoints the Registration Board for Food Scientists/Technologists and Dietitians in Cyprus every three years where all the dietitians are required to be registered according to the Cyprus law (N31(I)/96).

3 April 1999 - "Cyprus Dietetic Association" became an autonomous association and split from the previous association due to the large number of members of the different disciplines in Cyprus and the realisation of the different educational and professional goals.
