hai,
Thanks for consulting us.
As your father hemoglobin is very low. only diet will not enough to compensate the hemoglobin level.

Kindly do rule out the cause for low level of hemoglobin. Your father can take iron tablets and folic acid with advise from your treating physician.
before that cause should be fixed.
However non veg foods like liver,meat and veg food like fig,pomegranate,ragi will help in increase your iron.

Thanks and regards
