At Rajagiri Hospital, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides care for babies after birth who need special attention. Some of the reasons include preterm birth, low birth weight, breathing difficulty, low blood sugar and infection. Our level 2 beds in the nursery provide care for some babies who are convalescing but who continue to require the services of a specialized hospital.
