Chennai, May 21st, 2025: Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, one of India’s oldest and most trusted healthcare institutions, proudly inaugurated its newly expanded 40-bedded State-of-the-Art Quaternary Care Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at its Chetpet campus and unveiled the Dr. Mehta’s Ambulance Tracker App. This cutting-edge app allows real-time tracking and coordination of ambulances, enhancing preparedness and responsiveness in high-risk pregnancies, trauma, cardiac emergencies, and ICU transfers.
The inauguration was graced by Dr. R. Shanmuga Sundaram, widely regarded as the Father of Indian Neonatology, alongside Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals’ NICU graduates, survivors, and their parents, the true Neonatal Heroes who once received life-saving care at Dr. Mehta’s. Joining them were Dr. Lakshmi, Head of Neonatology, and Dr. Arun Krishnan, as well as senior representatives of Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals.
This significant expansion marks a pivotal milestone in the hospital’s 90+ year legacy of clinical excellence and compassionate care. Accredited as a Level 3B NICU by the National Neonatal Forum of India, Dr. Mehta’s NICU has been providing exceptional care since its inception in 1996–97. For nearly three decades, it has specialised in treating micro-preemies, infants born at 23–25 weeks or weighing just 400–500 grams. The expanded NICU facility is designed to exceed global standards for quaternary-level neonatal care and features advanced life-support systems, neonatal ventilation, high-frequency oscillation, neuro-monitoring, and round-the-clock care from a multidisciplinary team. These capabilities empower the hospital to deliver personalised, evidence-based treatment to the most vulnerable newborns. “With the commissioning of this 40-bedded NICU, we reaffirm our mission to be a centre of excellence in neonatal and perinatal care. We are investing not just in infrastructure, but in the future of every child who needs a fighting chance,” said Dr. Lakshmi, Head of Neonatal Care at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals.
Located at No. 2, McNichols Road, 3rd Lane, Chetpet, Chennai, the new NICU underscores Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals’ continued leadership in maternal and child health. With this expansion, the hospital further strengthens its position as a premier destination for high-risk new-born care in South India.
