Overview
SSMC’s Division of Neonatology focuses on infants and the factors that can influence their growth and longevity. Neonatologists consult with obstetricians, paediatricians, family physicians and other medical experts while caring for patients during labour and delivery, making neonatology inherently multidisciplinary.
Our division comprises experts who assist with high-risk deliveries, identify symptoms, treat infants and premature babies and stabilise critical cases. In addition, they treat newborns with congenital abnormalities, infections or breathing problems, as well as those with low birth weight. The division also includes a referral centre for complex neonatal surgery.
SSMC’s NICU is a level III facility that employs state-of-the-art technology to care for babies with medically fragile conditions. Nurses, respiratory therapists, nutritional experts, physiotherapists and lactation consultants are part of the collaborative team that provides complex medical and surgical care in the NICU.
