Neonatology & Paediatrics
Neonatology is a subspecialty of paediatrics that focuses on the medical care of newborn infants, especially those who are ill or born prematurely. Neonatologists are specially trained physicians who provide medical care for newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and other settings. They are skilled in managing a wide range of conditions that affect newborns, including respiratory distress syndrome, infections, birth defects, and complications of prematurity. Neonatologists work closely with other members of the healthcare team, including neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists, and paediatric surgeons, to provide comprehensive care for newborns and support their families during what can be a challenging time.
