Specialized Care for
Your Newborn

Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit provides round the clock expert care for premature and critically ill newborns with compassion, advanced technology, and family centred support.

Overview

Our Neonatal Services

Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized department dedicated to providing advanced care for newborns who are premature, critically ill, or experiencing complications at birth. The unit is equipped with essential technologies such as incubators, ventilators, and central monitoring systems, and is staffed by a multidisciplinary team including neonatal nurses, pediatricians, neonatologists, pediatric cardiologists, ophthalmologists, and other support personnel. Together, they ensure continuous monitoring and management of the babies' breathing, feeding, temperature regulation, and overall condition.

The primary aim of a NICU is to stabilize and treat newborns while also supporting their families, ensuring that both babies and parents are well-prepared for a safe transition home.
