Neonatology is a sub-specialty of pediatrics focused on the care of infants from birth to one month of age. Over the past decade, this specialty has evolved into a distinct field, gaining significant momentum across the country. This is primarily because the diseases and treatments in this age group differ markedly from those of older children. The best care for these sick newborns is provided in facilities specifically designed for their needs by a dedicated team of physicians trained in neonatology, both in India and abroad.

​

Neonatology addresses various conditions, including:​

• Premature birth

• Low birth weight

• Birth defects affecting the brain, spine, heart, lungs, kidneys, and abdomen

• Failure to cry after birth due to blood or oxygen deprivation

• Infection-related dullness and refusal to feed

• Breathing difficulties from premature lungs, pneumonia, or meconium aspiration

• Cyanosis (blue baby) caused by cardiac disease or persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN)

• Other miscellaneous disorders
