NICU

Welcome to Galaxy Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

Caring for Your Little Ones with Expertise and Compassion

At Galaxy Hospital, we understand that having a baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can be an overwhelming experience. Our NICU is designed to provide the highest level of care for newborns who need specialized medical attention right after birth. Whether your baby was born prematurely, with a low birth weight, or with other health concerns, our dedicated team is here to offer the support and medical expertise needed during this critical time.

What to Expect in the NICU

1. Specialized Care: Our NICU is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by a team of neonatologists, nurses, and respiratory therapists. We provide around-the-clock monitoring and care to ensure your baby receives the best possible treatment.
2. Family-Centered Approach: We believe that parents are an essential part of the care team. We encourage you to be involved in your baby’s care as much as possible. Our staff is here to guide you, answer your questions, and provide the emotional support you need.
3. Kangaroo Care: We promote skin-to-skin contact, also known as kangaroo care, which has been shown to help stabilize your baby’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature. This bonding experience is beneficial for both the baby and the parents.
4. Developmental Support: Our NICU team is trained in providing developmental care that supports your baby’s growth and development. This includes specialized feeding plans, physical therapy, and ensuring a nurturing environment.
5. Safety and Infection Control: Your baby’s health and safety are our top priorities. We have strict infection control protocols in place to protect your baby from any potential risks.

Support for Parents

2. Emotional Support: Having a baby in the NICU can be emotionally challenging. Our team includes social workers and counselors who are available to provide emotional support and help you navigate this difficult time.
3. Visiting Hours: We know how important it is for you to be with your baby. Our NICU has flexible visiting hours, and we encourage parents to spend as much time as possible with their little ones.
