According to the data of the World Health Organization, around 7 million perinatal deaths occur in the world every year. 5 million of these deaths are observed within the first 7 days after birth. Another sad result of the research is that 5.5 million of these deaths are preventable.
Prematurity, low birth weight, infection, asphyxia and birth trauma are among the main causes of all neonatal deaths (80%).
The process of privatizing the neonatal and neonatal intensive care unit, which was started in the 1970s in European countries and gaining importance as a separate branch, started to make an impact in our country at the same time. Especially in the last 15-20 years, attention has been paid to the neonatal intensive care units and the employment of personnel to work in these units. .
Newborn and its follow-up is a branch in itself, service planning is done by experts in the field and quality correct care is provided. A 13-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit was put into service with an expert staff and equipment.
Today, the existence of a newborn intensive care unit in the institution where the birth will take place is of great importance for every early or timely birth. The most appropriate follow-up of the mother and the baby is carried out in this way before and after the birth. Transfer to another institution is a frustrating factor for both the family and the baby.
We have pregnancy follow-ups that we carry out in solidarity with our gynecology team. During pregnancy, plans are made to approach the newborn in line with the related complications. In risky pregnants, progress is made in solidarity with the family.
Not only babies born in the hospital, but also babies who need intensive care and were born in other conditions are accepted to our neonatal intensive care unit. These referrals made within the province or from the surrounding provinces are provided by our own ambulance, intensive care team and transport incubator.
Our newborns born in our hospital are observed in intensive care conditions in terms of complications that may develop.
Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is located in close proximity to two strategic and relevant areas such as the delivery room and the operating room.

In our unit;
Low birth weight babies (750 g and under)
Babies born prematurely (premature babies)
respiratory system diseases
digestive system diseases
Congenital neonatal diseases
Neonatal Convulsion
Hyperbilirubinemia and exchange transfusion (jaundice, light therapy, exchange transfusion)
All kinds of cases specific to the newborn period, such as newborn nutritional problems, are followed and treated.
During the hospitalization, in addition to the intensive care evaluations, daily follow-ups of our babies are also carried out in terms of infection control. There was no problem in these follow-ups carried out together with the infection control nursing.
During the hospitalization, heel blood, vaccination, hormone and other diagnostic follow-ups, ROP (retinopathy in premature infants; eye examination) examinations, ultrasound follow-ups and daily general evaluations are performed for each of our babies.
In every matter deemed necessary, patient orientation and treatment are organized, and families are informed.
