Clinic opening

The neonatal intensive care center is a hospital room for the treatment and care of premature infants and high-risk newborns requiring medical management, such as full-term infants, where the infants will remain until discharge.

For the severe management and treatment of high-risk newborns and premature babies, neonatologists and nurses, including ventilators, incubators, and various monitors, are doing their best in their assigned roles, and rapid and accurate treatment is provided through close collaboration with related departments. A resident or specialist is on duty 24 hours a day, and each patient is assigned a nurse.

When visiting a guardian, the attending physician or attending physician directly explains the patient's condition and test results to the guardian. Explanations over the phone are possible after confirmation by the guardian. If an interview with the attending physician is necessary, please contact the nurse in charge in advance.
