Paediatric Care and NICU
Overview
Paediatric care focuses on the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents, addressing their unique medical needs through preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood illnesses. The NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) provides specialized care for critically ill or premature newborns. It is equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by skilled professionals to monitor and manage high-risk conditions.
