The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Latifa Hospital is a 34-bed Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which cares for approximately 750 babies annually.
The NICU provides care for newborns of all gestational ages and is specially equipped to care for premature infants as young as 24 weeks gestation. Our state-of-the-art facility is the largest NICU in Dubai. It provides advanced neonatal respiratory support such as High Frequency Ventilation.
Our neonatologists (specialists in the area of newborn medicine) are nationally recognized for their skills and experience. Our neonatologists provide on-site evaluation and treatment 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, for our NICU babies.
We treat babies with simple and complex prematurity, respiratory disease, congenital malformations and genetic abnormalities, neonatal infections, and neonatal neurological and metabolic disorders.
All babies admitted to NICU will have a hearing test prior to their discharge. If a referral is necessary then the staff at the NICU will arrange it.
In addition to caring for the needs of premature and sick babies, our doctors provide comprehensive inpatient newborn care to healthy newborns during their hospital stay.
