Should your baby develop any problems and require
critical care, Royale Hayat Hospital is uniquely equipped to take care of your
newborn. Our Neonatal Unit has the highest possible distinction of being the
only unit in the private healthcare sector with a Level III status which means
that it has access to consultants, surgeons and ancillary services that allow
treatment across the full range of neonatal problems. We provide daily neonatal
consultant led care and on call services for babies born from 24 weeks
gestation onwards.
It comprises 23 neonatal cots/incubator spaces in
three areas, providing varying levels of care, including:

Our Neonatal Unit is staffed with an experienced
team of neonatologists and neonatal nurse practitioners who provide 24-hour
care using the most advanced technologies. We have access to specialists
including surgery, cardiology, pulmonology, neurology, orthopedics,
gastroenterology, otolaryngology, and more.
We also have a highly skilled Neonatal Transport
Team that transport critically ill newborns from any other facility in Kuwait
to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit utilizing ground transportation.
We treat babies with simple and complex problems
like prematurity, respiratory disease, including hyaline membrane disease,
pneumonia, congenital malformations, genetic abnormalities, neonatal
infections, neonatal neurological and metabolic disorders. We offer on-site in
the Neonatal Unit services such as a blood gas analysis, lactation services, nutritional
services, pharmaceutical services, and advanced neonatal respiratory therapy,
including nitric oxide and high frequency ventilation.
What this means simply is that we are more
experienced and better equipped to care for premature and critically ill
newborns.
