At Yupiter Hospital, we understand that the birth of a baby is a momentous event, but sometimes newborns need additional medical attention to ensure they thrive. Some babies may struggle to gain full organ function independently, requiring specialized care for breathing difficulties, feeding issues, or other medical conditions. Our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides comprehensive, high-quality care for babies who need critical attention after birth.
