Neonatal Care

Neonatal care refers to the specialized medical attention given to newborn babies, especially those born prematurely, with low birth weight, or with health complications. This care is typically provided during the first 28 days of life and is critical in ensuring the infant’s survival, growth, and long-term health. Neonatal care may be delivered in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where a multidisciplinary team monitors and supports vital functions like breathing, temperature regulation, feeding, and infection control.

Treatment Offered:
  • NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit): Advanced care for critically ill or premature newborns, equipped with life-support systems and continuous monitoring.

  • Respiratory Support: Oxygen therapy, CPAP, or mechanical ventilation for babies with breathing difficulties.

  • Phototherapy: Treatment for neonatal jaundice using special light to break down excess bilirubin.

  • Nutritional Support: Tube feeding, parenteral nutrition, or specialized formulas to meet the baby’s dietary needs.

  • Thermoregulation: Incubators or radiant warmers to maintain optimal body temperature.

  • Infection Management: Early diagnosis and treatment of sepsis or other neonatal infections.

  • Monitoring & Screening: Regular checks for congenital conditions, metabolic disorders, and hearing or vision issues.

  • Family Education & Support: Guidance for parents on newborn care, breastfeeding, and emotional support during NICU stay.
