Newborn Care Unit (NICU) Services

At Sri Krishna Children Hospital, Una

Support, technology & compassion for the tiniest lives

Welcoming a newborn into the world is a moment of joy and hope. But sometimes, babies — especially those born prematurely or with health challenges — need more care than a regular nursery can provide. That’s where the Newborn Care Unit (NICU) steps in: offering specialized support, expert monitoring, and life-saving interventions to help fragile infants thrive.

At Sri Krishna Children Hospital in Una, Himachal Pradesh, the NICU is a cornerstone of pediatric care. In this blog, we’ll explore the services, the technology, the approach, and the reasons parents trust the NICU team with their newborns.

What Is a NICU?

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized hospital unit dedicated to caring for newborns who require advanced medical attention. These babies may be born early, be underweight, have difficulty breathing, or have conditions that require continuous monitoring and intervention.

The NICU at Sri Krishna Children Hospital is equipped and staffed to provide this level of care 24/7.

Who Needs NICU Care?

Babies admitted to the NICU may include:

• Premature infants (born before 37 weeks)

• Low birth weight or very low birth weight babies

• Babies with respiratory distress or breathing issues

• Newborns with infections, jaundice, or feeding difficulties

• Babies requiring specialized monitoring or supportive therapy

• Infants needing phototherapy or exchange transfusion

Each baby’s care plan is customized based on their specific medical needs.
