Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Swastik Hospital, Gurgaon

At Swastik Hospital, Gurgaon, we understand that welcoming a newborn should be a joyful experience —but sometimes, babies need extra medical attention right after birth. Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is specially designed to provide advanced care for premature, low birth weight, or critically ill newborns. Our NICU is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and managed by a highly experienced team of neonatologists, pediatricians, and NICU-trained nurses who provide round-the-clock care. Whether a baby requires respiratory support, temperature regulation, infection management, or monitoring of vital signs, our NICU ensures the highest standards of safety and comfort.

We also offer specialized care for babies who may not be critically ill but still require close observation or medical support. In some cases, if babies are born in hospitals without NICU facilities, they need to be transferred to Swastik Hospital to receive the necessary care. However, babies do better when born directly at a facility like ours, where advanced neonatal care is available immediately. We know that having a baby in the NICU can be emotionally overwhelming for parents. At Swastik Hospital, our compassionate staff supports families through clear communication, regular updates, and emotional support, making the NICU experience as reassuring as possible.
