When your newborn baby is premature or ill you actually search for the place where the best care can be given to your child. We realise that when your child requires admittance to Critical Care Unit, it really becomes a stressful time for the family. The Critical Care Unit of the department is a super-specialised facility that is dedicated to neonates and children who needs intensive monitoring & medical care backed by best child specialist in Guwahati. The hospital has one of the best facilities to take care of the newly born child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This unit is studded with cutting-edge facilities like Level 3 Neonatal Intensive care and manned by extensively trained staffs to look after the ill neonates. This unit is designed to look after the babies who need special care due to either pre-mature birth, illness or health problems. The NICU is complemented by a SCBU (Special Care Baby Unit), which caters to newborns who are medically stable but still require specialised monitoring and support.
Our Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) is dedicated to caring for newborns who need medical support after birth. This includes babies born prematurely (from 32 weeks), with low birth weight, breathing difficulties, infections, jaundice, or feeding challenges. Staffed by experienced neonatologists and trained nursing professionals, the SCBU provides 24/7 monitoring in a safe, supportive environment. The unit is equipped with advanced incubators, respiratory support systems, feeding assistance and phototherapy for jaundice management.
We believe in family-centered care, where parents are involved in every step of their baby’s recovery. Parents receive guidance on baby care, feeding techniques and scheduled follow-ups to support their baby’s continued growth and development at home.
We also run the Neonatal Treatment Programme by which a transport team comprising a Neonatologist and a NICU registered nurse retrieves a baby born outside and brings him/her to our NICU for immediate care.
As couples welcome their bundle of joy, it’s important that they choose a hospital that makes childbirth a positive journey. While would-be parents pay a lot of attention to things like facilities like labour rooms, in-house lactation specialists and other facilities. However, what many people ignore is the Neonatal Retrieval Services. While no parent would want to think about their child needing care at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), it is important that your hospital has the unit as well as the retrieval services in case of any immediate care. After birth, many infants are at risk of developing serious complications. There are several reasons why an infant is admitted to NICU. Premature babies who haven’t been able to make the transition to the outside world, babies with respiratory problems, babies born with low blood sugar levels, babies developing early infection are often admitted to NICU for specialized care. We, at Neotia Bhagirathi Woman and Child Care Centre, Guwahati, one of the best baby delivery hospitals, are committed to providing the baby with the best care inside the hospital as well as when he or she transported for critical care. Our highly-trained team makes sure that premature or critically ill children are transferred in a gentle manner and under constant monitoring. Being one of the best hospitals for pregnancy, we make sure that the journey from pregnancy to post-delivery is as smooth as possible.
