Neonatology
Level III Neonatal Intensive Care for the Region’s Tiniest and Most Fragile Patients.
Cutting-edge technology, subspecialty collaboration, and family-centered care.
The Neonatology Service provides comprehensive medical and surgical management for premature infants, low-birth-weight babies, and newborns with congenital anomalies or critical illnesses. Our services include high-frequency ventilation, inhaled nitric-oxide therapy, therapeutic hypothermia, ECMO readiness, on-site neonatal surgery, and a family-integrated care model. We provide 24-hour parental access, kangaroo care, and lactation support. Our developmental-follow-up program monitors growth and neurodevelopment through school age.
