The Department of Neonatology at Nepal Mediciti provides comprehensive medical care for newborns requiring specialized attention due to conditions such as prematurity, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations, sepsis, pulmonary hypoplasia, neonatal jaundice, or birth asphyxia. Our Intensive Care Unit (NICU) features advanced technology and a team of experienced neonatologists, paediatricians, and nurses dedicated to delivering high-quality care. We are equipped to handle critically ill newborns with severe prematurity and extremely low birth weight, and our services include advanced respiratory support, nutritional management, surgical care, and developmental support. We specialize in caring for extremely premature (less than 28 weeks) and extremely low birth weight (less than 1000 grams) babies. Additionally, we have the facilities and experience to perform abdominal surgery, neurosurgery, and cardiac surgery in newborns, including those weighing less than 2500 grams.
Our NICU includes a 12-bedded Level 4 unit with real-time monitoring of vital signs and oxygen levels, and offers ventilator support and advanced respiratory care. The department provides comprehensive care for premature infants and those with congenital anomalies, along with intravenous fluid support, phototherapy for neonatal jaundice, and developmental care programs. We emphasize parental support through breastfeeding assistance and counseling. Our advanced equipment includes incubators, high-tech monitors, and imaging techniques such as bedside X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, and CT scans. With 24/7 neonatologist availability in our NICU, we ensure continuous care for critically ill and preterm babies, whether via cesarean section or normal delivery.
