Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Tel: +65 6347 6370
This
dedicated unit provides special care for newborns should they require a little
help during the early days. Here, babies are nursed under radiant warmers to
keep warm and for close observation. We have precision equipment to monitor
baby’s heartbeat, breathing rate and oxygen intake.
We also guide parents on the art of Kangaroo Care - the practice
of giving babies skin-to-skin contact with their parents, enabling them to share
warmth and natural closeness. Kangaroo Care has been found to relieve the feeling
of separation experienced by some parents with babies in the NICU.
Our services are available to both babies born at Mount Alvernia
and from other hospitals.
