N.I.C.U

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized medical facility designed to provide comprehensive care to newborns who are critically ill, premature, or have complications at birth. Staffed by a team of neonatologists, pediatricians, specialized nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals, the NICU offers round-the-clock monitoring and advanced life support to ensure the best possible outcomes for vulnerable infants.

Common reasons for NICU admission include premature birth, low birth weight, respiratory distress, infections, birth defects, and complications during delivery. The unit is equipped with state-of-the-art technology such as incubators, ventilators, phototherapy units, and monitors to manage vital signs and provide a warm, controlled environment.

Parental involvement is encouraged in the NICU, with many units offering skin-to-skin care (kangaroo care) and family-centered support programs. Emotional counseling, lactation support, and regular updates by the medical team help families cope with the stress of having a newborn in intensive care.

Every baby in the NICU receives personalized attention and treatment plans tailored to their unique needs. The goal of NICU care is not only to stabilize and treat the infant but also to ensure their long-term health and development, supporting a smooth transition to home life once they are ready.
