What is a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)?
A NICU is a specialized hospital unit that provides 24/7 intensive medical care for newborns who are;
- Born prematurely
- Have low birth weight
- Experiencing breathing difficulties
- Diagnosed with infections
- Born with birth defects
- Facing complications during or after delivery
The NICU provides continuous monitoring, temperature-controlled incubators, respiratory support, and vital treatments to stabilize and protect newborns during their most delicate stage of life.
Early intervention significantly improves survival rates and long-term health outcomes.
