Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

At Dr Mehta’s Hospitals, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is specialized wing dedicated to providing comprehensive, intensive care for little ones – critically ill neonates, infants, children, and adolescents.  

State-of-the-Art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

Our 30-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is one of the largest and most advanced in the country. Accredited as a Level 3B NICU by the National Neonatal Forum of India, it has been providing exceptional care since its inception in 1996-97. For over three decades, we have supported families across the state, offering comprehensive care for extremely preterm infants, including micro-preemies and babies born in the periviable period (23-25 weeks), as well as those with birth weights as low as 400-500 grams.

24/7 Neonatal Emergency Care

Our NICU is staffed around the clock by highly trained neonatologists and specialized nursing staff, ensuring expert care for all neonatal emergencies. The unit is equipped with 9 ventilators, 2 high-frequency ventilators, and 2 inhaled nitric oxide delivery systems, allowing us to manage even the most critical cases efficiently and effectively.

Neonatal Transport Services

Our hospital provides dedicated neonatal transport services with fully equipped ambulances, including life support systems, ensuring timely and safe transfer of critically ill neonates. With a rapid response time, we cater to neonatal emergencies within a 100-200 km radius, supporting nearby centers in transporting sick neonates.

Neonatal Surgical Care

Our NICU is equipped to manage neonatal surgical emergencies 24/7. With access to specialized Neonatal surgeons and state-of-the-art post-operative care facilities, we provide comprehensive surgical care to newborns requiring urgent interventions.

Post-Discharge Neonatal Follow-Up Care

We offer an extensive follow-up program for preterm and critically ill newborns after discharge from the NICU. Our services include structured eye and hearing screening programs to detect and treat conditions such as retinopathy of prematurity and hearing impairments early. We also provide developmental care support for neonates with developmental challenges, alongside Pediatric physiotherapy services to aid in their growth and development.

Neonatal Training and Education Programs

Our NICU is led by nationally recognized neonatologists and highly skilled nursing professionals. With a team of 14 doctors and 32 nurses, we are committed to delivering high-quality neonatal care. We also offer training programs for doctors and nurses in neonatology, and our alumni have gone on to contribute to leading healthcare institutions across the country and around the world.
