At Dr Dhannur’s Sangameshwar Hospital, we understand the delicate nature of newborn care. Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is designed to support premature babies, low birth weight infants, and critically ill newborns who require constant monitoring and specialised treatment. With advanced medical technology and compassionate expertise, we ensure every baby gets the safest start to life.
When Does a Baby Need NICU Care?
Not all newborns need intensive care, but certain conditions make NICU support essential. Babies may be admitted to the NICU if they are:
- Born prematurely (before 37 weeks)
- Having difficulty breathing at birth
- Weighing less than 2.5 kg
- Suffering from infections or sepsis
- Diagnosed with congenital conditions
- Requiring specialised monitoring after a complicated delivery
Our NICU ensures these vulnerable babies receive immediate medical attention, improving survival rates and long-term health outcomes.
State-of-the-Art NICU Facilities
The NICU at Sangameshwar Hospital is equipped with:
- Incubators & Warmers – to maintain optimal body temperature
- Advanced Ventilators – to support babies with breathing difficulties
- 24x7 Monitoring – real-time tracking of heart rate, oxygen, and vital signs
- Sterile Environment – infection-controlled unit to ensure maximum safety
Our infrastructure is designed to meet the highest standards of neonatal critical care.
Experienced Neonatology & Nursing Team
The NICU is staffed with qualified paediatricians, and trained neonatal nurses who provide round-the-clock care. Every staff member is skilled in neonatal resuscitation, emergency management, and compassionate care. Their focus is not only on stabilising and treating newborns but also on guiding parents throughout the journey, ensuring they are reassured and supported.
Parent Involvement & Guidance
At Sangameshwar Hospital, we strongly believe parents play a vital role in the healing process of newborns. Our NICU is structured to allow safe parental interaction, including:
- Educating parents on newborn handling and feeding
- Counselling sessions to reduce anxiety and build confidence
- Guidance on post-discharge care and follow-up appointments
This approach helps parents transition smoothly from hospital care to home care.
