Pediatrics Neonatology

Overview

SSMC’s Neonatology division deals with infants and the factors that can influence their growth and longevity. Owing to the fact, neonatologists consult with obstetricians, pediatricians, family physicians, and other medical experts while dealing with patients during labor and delivery, making neonatology inherently multidisciplinary.

Our division includes a spectrum of experts who assist with high-risk deliveries, identify symptoms, treat infants and premature babies, as well as stabilize 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 center for complex neonatal surgery.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

SSMC’s NICU is a level III designation in a highly specialized environment where state-of-the-art equipment and technology are utilized and employed around the needs of medically fragile babies. The NICU provides complex medical and surgical care. The facility is supported by a multidisciplinary team of expert neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, nutritional experts, physiotherapists and lactation consultants.
