Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Some newborns need additional observation and specialised support after birth. NICU care is organised around close monitoring, safe feeding, temperature control and treatment directed by the clinical team.
Service overview
Care designed around clinical need
Neonatal care may be recommended for premature babies, low-birth-weight newborns, breathing or feeding concerns, infection risk and other conditions requiring closer observation.
Parents are kept informed about the care plan and practical next steps. The level of neonatal support varies by facility, so families planning delivery or follow-up should confirm current capability directly with the hospital.
