The Division of Neonatology under the Department of Paediatrics was started in Matushree Gomati Hospital.
Our philosophy is in family centered care with health care providers working as a team. The pediatric subspecialists provide the needed support for us in this endeavour. As several of our referred patients have extremely complex medical and surgical problems, it will not be surprising to see that an infant is taken care of by several consultants in unison.
We are eager and dedicated to help sick newborns and their distraught parents at all times. We also believe that if an infant can be managed at their local community hospital we should transfer the infant back to that referring hospital with referring physician’s input. We recognize that periodic communication with the referring physicians is very important and tend to keep them abreast of the infant’s clinical course.
