The newborn period and its importance

It is the right of all newborn babies to start life with
a healthy breath. Some babies cannot have such a chance due to country
conditions or special circumstances. According to the statistics made in
our country, newborn deaths constitute half of the child deaths.

In this respect, this period, which covers the first 28 days of the baby’s
birth and is called the newborn period, is of great importance for babies born
at risk to continue their lives. This is only possible with special
care. This special care, which babies need in our hospital,
is carried out in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

It is very important to be under the supervision of a
doctor before and after birth, both for maternal health and for baby health.
