Little Heroes in Safe Hands
We are aware of how anxious you are during this sensitive period of your babies. Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is equipped not only with technological devices but also with maternal compassion. During the treatment, we inform families at every step and ensure that babies are not deprived of their mother's scent with "Kangaroo Care" (skin-to-skin contact) practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to see my baby while in intensive care?
Yes, you can visit your baby at specified times and have skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care) depending on his condition, provided that you follow the strict hygiene rules and shoe cover/bib procedures taken to prevent the risk of infection.
