Department of Neonatology & Level III NICU
Providing Advanced Critical Care and Life Support for the Region's Most Vulnerable Newborns.
The Department of Neonatology operates a state-of-the-art Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), dedicated solely to the critical and specialized medical care of newborns. This includes premature babies, infants with complex medical conditions, and those requiring immediate post-birth interventions.
Our unit is equipped with advanced ventilation, sophisticated monitoring systems, and staffed by experienced Neonatologists and specialized nurses available 24/7. We provide comprehensive care for the smallest and sickest infants, ensuring the best possible start to life.
We focus on managing severe neonatal respiratory distress, infections, congenital anomalies, and providing developmental care that supports brain growth and overall well-being in premature infants.
