Every parent hopes that their baby will be born healthy but for some families it will be necessary for their newborn to be admitted to NICU for stabilisation and care. The main reasons that babies need to be admitted to NICU include being born too early, being born too small or being born sick. Some parents may be aware that their baby will require NICU admission before their baby is born but for many families, their baby’s admission to NICU is unexpected and can be very upsetting
NICU is close to Delivery Suite and Theatres to make transfer of babies requiring extra care, quick and easy. We have 20 cots in addition to a range of facilities, to make the time that parents spend on NICU a little easier. For example, a family rest room is available at all times and three family room facilities for families to use prior to going home with their baby.
