Holistic Care for Your Children with Advanced NICUs and PICUs

What are Advanced NICUs and PICUs?

Newborn babies are so vulnerable to acquiring any medical condition as they transition from their mother’s blood to individual breathing. Neonatal intensive care units are specialized units that offer reliable medical care to avoid strenuous health risks and ensure that the baby gets holistic care from birth to any disease prognosis. NICUs are heavily equipped with advanced technology and are operated by medical professionals to treat critically ill babies. NICUs provide accurate and timely care for conditions such as allergies, jaundice, poor weight gain, and other neurological congenital diseases. 

Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) are well-equipped with advanced medical technology, including diagnostic systems and ventilators. Our top panel of emergency paediatric specialists provides critical care for infants, children, and young adults with severe medical conditions. With our expert care, this unit strives to stabilize the patient’s health, manage any potential complications, and promote healing.
