Nurturing little lives
At AMVI Hospitals, care doesn't stop at delivery. Our paediatric team looks after your baby from birth, and continues to care for your child as they grow, with preventive care, timely vaccinations, developmental check-ups and treatment of childhood illnesses.
The paediatric team works closely with our obstetricians, so babies born after a high-risk pregnancy, IVF or a premature delivery get the right care from their first minutes.
Our NICU: special care for newborns
Some newborns need closer monitoring and support in their first days. Our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provides continuous care for these babies, with the right equipment and a trained team. Being admitted to the NICU doesn't always mean something is seriously wrong; often a baby simply needs a little extra help.
- Babies born early (premature) or with a low birth weight
