When choosing where to deliver your baby, the presence of a fully equipped, round-the-clock Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) should be near the top of your checklist. Even uncomplicated pregnancies can result in newborns who need immediate specialist care. Here’s why NICU facilities in Banasree at Farazy Hospital matter for every delivery.
What is a NICU?
A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized ward for newborns who need intensive medical attention. These may include premature babies (born before 37 weeks), babies with low birth weight, respiratory distress, infections, or congenital conditions requiring immediate intervention.
Why a 24/7 NICU is Non-Negotiable
Birth complications can arise at any hour. A NICU that only operates during day shifts puts your newborn at risk during nights and weekends. At Farazy Hospital, our NICU is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with neonatologists and trained nursing staff on duty at all times.
Who Needs NICU Care?
- Premature babies: Born before 37 weeks and may have underdeveloped lungs or immune systems
- Low birth weight infants: Under 2.5 kg at birth
- Babies with breathing problems: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)
- Newborns with infections: Neonatal sepsis, meningitis
- Babies with jaundice: Requiring phototherapy
- Post-surgical neonates: After corrective procedures for congenital conditions
