The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Meenakshi Maternity is a level III unit. We offer the most advanced care for premature and critically ill newborns.
New parents eagerly look forward to bringing their baby home, so it can be frightening if your newborn needs to be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
