Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Babies with high risk factors such as preterm birth, multiple pregnancy, mother having diabetes, brain and other organ damage caused by difficult birth are taken into advanced care in neonatal intensive care units to make a healthy start to life.
Mothers waiting for the moment when their baby will be healthy and discharged will be waiting for a good news day after day at the door of the intensive care unit. At this point, real information should be communicated to the family and nothing about the baby's condition should be kept. In order for the process to proceed in a healthy way, families also need to be patient and understanding. Besides this, the family should be able to see their baby easily at certain times of the day and meet their needs. They should know that he/she
is under 24/7 observation in a compassionate environment.
Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit provides the necessary support for all babies in need of intensive care. In the light of the current information, it provides the necessary resources in informing and educating the families and bringing the babies back to their families in a short time with its modern medical equipment.
