Neonatal Service Levels

Neonatal care units in hospitals affiliated with the Ministry of Health and Population provide various services for newborns, whether full-term or preterm.

The type of services these units offer depends on several factors, including:

• Available space
• The types and number of devices and equipment in these units
• The number and skill level of healthcare providers
• The number of admissions and types of medical conditions treated in these units
