Neonatal care refers to the specialized medical support given to newborns, especially those born prematurely or with low birth weight, during the first 28 days of life — a crucial period for healthy growth and development. It helps monitor and treat any complications early on.
In the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), babies receive advanced support such as respiratory assistance, temperature regulation, close monitoring of vital signs, jaundice management, and emergency care tailored to their specific needs.
Neonatal jaundice — a common condition where a baby’s skin and eyes may look yellow — is typically treated with phototherapy. This helps break down excess bilirubin in the blood, and close monitoring ensures safe and effective care.
Neonatal resuscitation is a life-saving procedure used when a newborn has trouble breathing immediately after birth. It ensures the baby gets enough oxygen to support vital functions and is performed by trained healthcare professionals as needed.
Yes — alongside medical care, parents are offered guidance on newborn care at home, including breastfeeding support, hygiene practices, and how to spot early signs of potential health issues to help parents feel confident caring for their baby.
