Newborn infants under the care of the paediatrics service will
receive a comprehensive physical check-up within 24 hours of birth.
The nursery has obtained international standards. It is designed
so that visiting family can view the babies while keeping them
protectively isolated.
Mothers are encouraged to breast feed infants. Both breast and
formula feeding are taught and supervised throughout the infant's
stay. Anticipatory guidance and general care of the infant are
given to parent lectures before the birth. Maternity and Neonatal
Ward staff are always readily at hand to assist.
Mothers are encouraged
to enroll in our Infant Health Programme to
learn more on caring for their newborn.
