A safe start for the smallest patients

Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit provides specialist care for premature babies, low-birthweight infants and newborns with serious medical conditions. The unit is staffed by paediatric nurses and physicians experienced in neonatal medicine.

We work closely with our Obstetrics and Paediatrics teams to ensure seamless care from delivery onwards, supporting both babies and their families through what can be a challenging time.
