Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Support - Patient Testimonial

About Nilima Ganesh Motkar's Treatment

Nilima Ganesh Motkar came to Medicover Hospitals in Chh. Sambhajinagar for advanced maternal and neonatal care during her high-risk twin pregnancy. Due to complications related to high blood pressure, her babies were delivered prematurely at 32 weeks. At birth, both infants faced serious challenges, including Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and Insufficient Birth Weight.

Premature birth and breathing difficulties can be an overwhelming experience for any family. However, under the careful supervision of Pediatrician Dr Rahul Gosavi, Consultant Pediatrics and Neonatologist and the dedicated neonatal team, the babies received immediate and intensive medical support. The structured care and constant monitoring played a vital role in stabilizing their condition and guiding them toward recovery.

Patient Words

I am deeply grateful for the care my babies and I received at Medicover Hospitals. My pregnancy was high risk with twins, and the way the doctors handled it with such professionalism gave me great confidence. My newborns were underweight and needed immediate NICU support, which was provided without any delay. I truly appreciate the compassion shown by the doctors, nurses, and management team, along with the strict hygiene and continuous guidance throughout our stay. Thanks to their life-saving care, I was able to take my babies home healthy, and for that, I will always be thankful.

What is Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in an Infant?

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is a serious breathing disorder that commonly affects premature newborns. It occurs due to a lack of surfactant, a substance that helps keep the lungs expanded during breathing. Without adequate surfactant, the lungs struggle to function properly, making breathing difficult and exhausting for the infant.

Low or insufficient birth weight further increases the risk, as premature babies often have underdeveloped organs. RDS is a medical emergency that requires immediate neonatal intensive care.

Common symptoms include:

Treatment focuses on supporting breathing, maintaining oxygen levels, and providing time for the lungs to mature.
