Obstetrics (Maternity) - Nursery 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.
