About the Clinic

Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that focuses on the medical care of newborn infants, particularly those who are ill or born prematurely.
It is a hospital-based specialty and typically provides care within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

The primary patients cared for by neonatologists include newborns with:

  • Prematurity

  • Low birth weight

  • Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)

  • Congenital malformations (birth defects)

  • Neonatal sepsis

  • Pulmonary hypoplasia

  • Birth asphyxia

These newborns require specialized medical attention and intensive care provided by neonatologists.
