Neonatology
The medical treatment of newborn infants, particularly those who are sick or preterm, is the focus of neonatology, a specialty of paediatrics.
What is a neonatologist?
Even though your paediatrician can help with most infant health issues, a neonatologist is prepared to deal with the most complicated and high-risk circumstances.
​
A neonatologist may assist at the moment of delivery and in the following care of your infant if he or she is preterm or has a significant sickness, injury, or birth defect. If a problem is discovered before your baby is delivered, a neonatologist may be called in to confer with your obstetrician about your baby's care.
​
Neonatologists have the specialised training needed to assess and treat the medical issues that arise in infants. Furthermore, neonatologists employ technology that is particularly developed for the smallest of patients.
