The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized hospital unit equipped to provide intensive medical care to ill or premature newborn infants. NICUs are staffed by neonatologists and specially trained nurses who use advanced technology to support vital functions, such as breathing and temperature regulation, for babies born with serious health challenges. Babies may require NICU care due to premature birth, birth injuries, infection, or other complications that require close monitoring and specialized treatment.
