Our NICU is equipped with the latest technology, including advanced ventilators and modern neurodevelopment tools, to support the physical and cognitive growth of neonates. Family-centred care is at the core of our approach, ensuring parents play an active role in their baby’s recovery and milestones."

Complementing the NICU is the hospital’s new comprehensive obstetrics services, which include a uniquely designed labour suite experience. Tailored for maternal comfort and holistic support, these suites offer the privacy of a personal room coupled with the capabilities of a fully equipped labour room, creating a seamless delivery environment for mothers.

With private spaces for mothers, advanced medical capabilities, and dedicated family areas, we ensure that every moment of this precious journey is supported with compassion and care."
