About this specialty
Neonatology covers the care of premature and newborn babies in intensive care: neonatal respiratory failure, sepsis, necrotising enterocolitis, jaundice, feeding and growth problems, and the follow-up of premature infants after discharge.
The decisions of the first days — ventilation, feeding, when to intervene — shape a child's course for years. Our consultants review the NICU record, imaging and laboratory results with the parents and explain what is happening and what the options are, which is what families most often lack in the hardest weeks of their lives.
