Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

NICU or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is specialized intensive care that provides treatment and care for premature newborns. At Aster Hospital Mankhool, our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is staffed and equipped to be one of the best teams in the region. A Level III classification implies that our NICU is focused on advanced neonatal care, which includes the care of extremely premature, low birth-weighted and critically ill newborns. We’ve had many cases of babies as premature as merely 26-weeks-old were admitted, weighing just 876g or born in just 27-weeks-5-days-old, weighing 650g, have made healthy recoveries.

Our neonatal special care unit is created to handle high-risk newborns with multiple problems. We provide thorough and relentless attention to the baby with the utmost, gentle care. Understanding the difficult time families face during such times, we welcome the parents at the infant's bedside and have many support spaces throughout the unit, such as family waiting areas, a resting room for parents, and other facilities. It’s our humble pride that our highly skilled and experienced specialists in Paediatrics and Neonatology departments don’t rest easy until they have ensured that the best level of diagnosis and treatments are available for every neonate, based on leading NICU protocols and methods.
