NICU
Specialised care for your newborn's first, most delicate days
Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides specialized, round-the-clock medical care for newborns who are born early, underweight, or unwell. Equipped with advanced monitoring and expert staff, we ensure compassionate healing while keeping parents closely involved at every step.
Babies who may need NICU care
A baby is admitted to the NICU when the doctor feels they need closer watch or treatment than a normal newborn ward can give.
Premature babies
Born before 37 weeks, when breathing, feeding and body temperature are still developing.
Low birth weight
Small babies who need extra support to stay warm and gain weight safely.
Breathing difficulty
Fast breathing, grunting, or low oxygen levels after birth.
Difficult birth
Babies who did not cry or breathe well at birth and need observation.
Newborn jaundice
Yellowing of the skin and eyes that needs monitoring, and sometimes light therapy.
Infections
Suspected infection or sepsis that needs tests, medicines and a close watch.
Sugar problems
Poor feeding, vomiting, or low blood sugar in the first days of life.
How we look after your baby
Every baby in the NICU is watched closely and treated according to their own needs.
Warmth
Incubators and radiant warmers keep body temperature steady.
Breathing support
Oxygen, CPAP and ventilator support when a baby cannot breathe well alone.
Round-the-clock monitoring
Bedside monitors track heart rate, breathing and oxygen level, and alert staff at once if something changes.
Phototherapy
Safe light treatment to bring down jaundice.
Exact medicines and feeds
Infusion and syringe pumps give measured doses. Babies who cannot suck are fed gently through a tube.
Infection control
Strict hand hygiene, clean equipment and controlled entry to keep tiny babies safe.
