Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine

Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine is a specialized branch of pediatrics focused on the care of newborns, particularly those who are ill or born prematurely. It encompasses the medical management of infants during their first weeks of life, addressing conditions like respiratory problems, infections, and developmental issues. This field involves monitoring and treating high-risk pregnancies and providing care in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Specialists in this area work to ensure the best possible outcomes for both mothers and their babies during this critical developmental period.
