Neo-Natal Care
Neonatal care refers to the specialized care provided to newborn infants, particularly those who are premature, have low birth weight, or suffer from medical conditions requiring intensive medical attention. This care encompasses a wide range of medical services aimed at ensuring the health and development of these vulnerable infants, including monitoring vital signs, providing respiratory support, administering medications, and ensuring proper nutrition. Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) are equipped with advanced technology and staffed by a team of healthcare professionals specialized in neonatology to address the unique needs of newborns.
