A neonatal centre is a place where they help babies who need special care. Professional neonatologists are on duty around the clock, ready to help newborns. When placing a baby in a neonatal centre, we also take care of creating comfortable conditions for the mother. We strive for the mother to be as close as possible to the child, then the recovery process will be faster and easier.
Intensive Care for Newborns
In the intensive care unit, babies are under the constant supervision of highly qualified personnel. Babies who require special attention, treatment or complex procedures and examinations are sent here. The intensive care and resuscitation unit have round-the-clock access to doctors of various profiles to provide comprehensive assistance to the baby.
Nursing of Newborns with Low
and Very Low Birth Weight
Premature babies with low body weight need special care and conditions. We create conditions of stay as close as possible to intrauterine: temperature, humidity, sound, light – everything should be comfortable. Doctors of our clinic have extensive experience in nursing premature infants with low body weight. Around-the-clock medical staff provides comprehensive support to newborns and their mothers.
Comfort for the Mother and the Baby
In the neonatal centre, babies lie in special boxes as it is impossible to stay together with their mother. However, we always provide the possibility for mothers and children to spend time together as much as possible. The peace of mind of the mother, a comfortable stay next to the child and the maximum possible contact – this is what our doctors always insist on. Special rooms for parents are located next to the neonatal centre and they are equipped with everything you need. It is also possible for the mother to be near the child only during the daytime if for some reason it is impossible to be there around the clock.
