Neonatology is a branch of the medical that deals with newborn intensive care units. The certified people who can manage the newborn intensive care are called Neonatologists. They generally provide services like diagnosis and treatment for breathing disorders, infections, birth defects, etc. Our Neonatologists are trained to handle the most complex and high-risk situations with 100 percent care.
Neonatologists have special training required to evaluate the problems in newborns and treat them properly. These neonatologists take care of newborn babies who are born before their bodies are formed. Neonatologists are passionate and genuine, willing to work long hours to take care of newborn babies. Patience is the main qualification of neonatologists to show sensitivity toward the little patients.
These days as premature baby births are growing rapidly there is a lot of importance to Neonatologists. There is a difference between Neonatologists and Pediatricians. Neonatologists handle the special health needs of newborns and pediatricians are qualified doctors who can handle baby’s medical care including complex and high-risk situations.
