The department of neonatology & paediatrics at the CK Birla Hospital is designed for the optimal care of babies and newborns with special medical needs. We have a cutting-edge Level III NICU equipped with advanced tools and technologies that best suit the requirements of infants. Our neontaologists are specially trained in the care to offer emergency and critical care with lasting effects.
When a baby is born, he/she should gain independent function of the organs. Sometimes babies need critical attention as they are unable to restore maxim function after birth. For example, they may be experiencing difficulty in breathing or respiratory or feeding problems. Intensive care or critical care is offered to babies and newborns with an acute medical condition.
NICUs are divided into three categories: Level I, II and III. A Level III NICU means that high-end subspeciality levels of paediatric critical care can be offered to the babies.
A level III NICU can provide stabilisation, allow for minor surgical procedures and offer continuous intensive care at subspeciality levels.
A level II NICU provides intensive care to babies and infants who are considered moderately ill while Level III NICU offers critical care to extremely ill and premature babies with even more advanced needs.
