NICU

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized unit within a hospital dedicated to the care of newborns, especially those born prematurely or with critical health conditions. Staffed by a team of neonatologists, nurses, and other specialized healthcare professionals, the NICU is equipped with advanced medical technology tailored for the unique needs of newborns. The primary goal of the NICU is to provide specialized and round-the-clock care, monitoring, and treatment for infants requiring intensive medical attention. This may include premature infants, those with low birth weight, respiratory distress, or congenital disorders. The NICU plays a crucial role in supporting the delicate development of newborns, ensuring they receive the necessary medical interventions and support to thrive and transition to a stable condition before being discharged from the hospital.
