Neonatology

Neonatology is a specialized branch of pediatrics that focuses on the medical care of newborns, particularly those who are ill or born prematurely. Neonatologists are doctors who are trained to manage complex health issues in newborns, which may include breathing problems, infections, or developmental concerns. They work in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to provide advanced treatments and support to ensure the best possible outcomes for these vulnerable infants. The goal of neonatology is to promote healthy growth and development during the critical early weeks and months of life.
