The unit caters to the needs of babies that are less than 25 weeks and weighs upto 600gms. We provide neonatal care of high caliber with well trained and efficient Doctors and Staffs who can handle all situation. We also do neonatal surgeries like Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia repair, Oesophageal Atresia etc.
