“Mom Cam” – Virtual Parenting

A new born in NICU is an unpleasant situation for parents. Parents would like to know what exactly is happening in NICU to their baby. Keeping this in mind we have brought an excellent concept of virtually seeing your baby in NICU from your bed! This would probably reduce the anxiety of the mother and would facilitate bonding. In addition it may improve milk secretion and early recovery of the mother.

Pre-Term Home Visit

This unique concept applies to pre-term babies who get discharged from our NICU. An experienced staff nurse from our expert team will visit their home and assess baby’s condition and aid the mother if any problems are present.
