Neonatology
Newborn Examination
Your baby can be seen at our clinic following discharge from the maternity hospital to check for any issues that may crop up during the neonatal (first month) period.
We will track your baby’s growth and development, address any feeding issues and discuss immunisations.

Mechanical Ventilation
A ventilator is used to provide breathing support for ill or premature babies. Sick or premature babies are often not able to breathe well enough on their own. They may need help from a ventilator to provide “good air” (oxygen) to the lungs and to remove “bad” exhaled air (carbon dioxide)
