Patient Testimonial - Preterm Baby Care

About Rudhvi Saha's Treatment

Rudhvi Saha's journey began with a critical start, arriving as an extreme preterm baby at just 26 weeks of gestation, weighing only 760 grams. Her fragile condition required immediate and advanced neonatal care, leading to a prolonged 67-day stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Medicover Hospitals, Bangalore.

Facing weeks of uncertainty, Rudhvi's parents placed their complete trust in the medical team led by Dr Anand Patil, Pediatrician. Every small milestone during her NICU stay became a moment of hope, reflecting the dedication, precision, and compassionate approach of the doctors and nursing staff throughout her recovery.

Patient Words

Our faith in Dr Anand Patil and the entire NICU team never wavered. The doctors and nurses felt like family to us. Every 10-gram weight gain, every tube removal, felt like a miracle. Their constant reassurance and support helped us through the most difficult days. Today, our daughter's recovery feels nothing short of a blessing, and we hope our story gives courage to other parents of preterm babies.

Specialised NICU care plays a critical role in supporting these babies until their organs mature enough to function independently.
