Overview
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at CMC Hospital Dubai offers peace of mind to parents looking for a maternity hospital offering the full spectrum of services from antenatal to postnatal care of your baby.
Patient Story – Pre-term delivery at 27 weeks
Our NICU staff are highly qualified with decades of experience dealing and are fully equipped to deal with premature babies from 24 weeks. Our NICU department sits on the 4th floor, adjacent to the mothers and child wing and labour delivery suites. Our service is delivered in 3 streams:
Antenatal consultations and counselling
We can look after our babies and their parents as early as the antenatal period in cooperation with our fetal medicine team, offering them counselling for anticipated problems and engaging them early in the management of their babies.
Our neonatologists can meet the parents before the delivery to answer to all their questions. Especially if there is known risk of prematurity or congenital defect detected before delivery. They also offer antenatal classes.
Maternity and postnatal care
Healthy babies will stay with their mothers to encourage skin to skin contact, breastfeeding, teaching regular newborn care, monitoring and support. Our pediatricians will examine your baby every day and make sure all tests and vaccines were administered before discharge.
