Holding hope for life’s tiniest miracles

Advanced Respiratory and Life Support

• Mechanical Ventilation and High-Frequency Ventilation (HFV)

  Providing precise, tailored breathing support for infants with immature lungs or severe respiratory distress (e.g., Respiratory Distress Syndrome - RDS).

  Non-Invasive Ventilation: Utilising Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) to support breathing without an invasive tube.

• Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) Therapy

  Administering a gas that helps relax blood vessels in the lungs, used primarily to treat Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN).

• Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)

  A life-saving technology that temporarily acts as the baby's heart and lungs, used for severe cardiac or respiratory failure that doesn't respond to conventional ventilation.

• Surfactant Administration

  Targeted delivery of lung-coating substance to infants with RDS to help keep the tiny air sacs (alveoli) open.

Neuro-Critical and Developmental Care

• Therapeutic Hypothermia (Cooling Therapy)

  Controlled cooling of a newborn's body temperature for 72 hours to reduce the risk of brain damage following a lack of oxygen at birth (Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy - HIE).

• Continuous EEG Monitoring

  Monitoring the brain’s electrical activity to detect and treat subtle seizures in critically ill newborns.

• Neurodevelopmental Follow-Up Programme

  Long-term assessment and intervention by developmental paediatricians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists for all NICU graduates, especially those born extremely prematurely.

• Kangaroo Care and Developmental Support

  Encouraging skin-to-skin contact and a quiet, dark environment to promote bonding, temperature regulation and optimal brain development.

Medical and Surgical Care

• Neonatal Cardiology

  Advanced monitoring, medication and, in collaboration with paediatric cardiology, interventions for congenital heart defects, including pre-operative and post-operative care.

• Neonatal Surgery Support

  Immediate, integrated care for babies requiring surgery for congenital anomalies such as Oesophageal Atresia, Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), Gastroschisis and Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC).

  Post-operative intensive monitoring and pain management.

• 

• Nutrition and Growth Support

  Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN): Delivering all necessary nutrients directly into the bloodstream for infants who cannot tolerate gut feeding.

  Human Milk Fortification: Specialised preparation of breast milk to meet the high caloric and protein needs of premature infants.

• Infection Management

  Rapid diagnosis and targeted antibiotic therapy for Neonatal Sepsis and other infections.

• Jaundice and Phototherapy

  Intensive monitoring and treatment for severe jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia), including specialised phototherapy and, when necessary, exchange transfusions.

Family-Centred Care

• Parental Education and Support

  Providing continuous updates, training on infant care procedures (like tube feeding or monitoring) and emotional support to families navigating the critical care environment.

• Lactation and Breastfeeding Support

  Dedicated lactation consultants to assist mothers in establishing and maintaining milk supply while their baby is in the NICU.

• Coordinated Discharge Planning

  Seamless transition of care from the intensive setting to the home environment, including arranging necessary home equipment, follow-up appointments and community resources.
