Neonatology is a branch of medicine responsible for monitoring, protecting, and treating the health conditions of newborns during the neonatal period, which encompasses the first 28 days after birth. This period is one of the most delicate and critical phases of a baby's life. Neonatal care covers a wide range from routine check-ups for healthy newborns to advanced monitoring of high-risk and premature infants.
In our neonatology unit, every vital function of newborns is carefully monitored from the moment of birth, and potential health issues are treated early.
