The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized medical facility equipped with advanced technology and highly trained medical professionals to provide critical care for premature or unwell newborns. Babies are often admitted to the NICU if they are born prematurely, have a low birth weight, face complications during delivery, or are diagnosed with certain medical conditions that require immediate and specialized attention.
In the NICU, parents are typically allowed to visit their babies 24 hours a day, fostering an environment that encourages parental involvement and bonding. However, access for other visitors is generally restricted to maintain a controlled and safe environment for the vulnerable infants.
