Programs available are led by experienced neonatologists:
- Delivery room and transitional care program for any severe antenatally diagnosed condition, prenatal follow-up. In case of a healthy or vulnerable neonate, we provide the care of the newborn baby next to the mother on the postnatal care unit to support couplet-care.
- Disease specific programs, for conditions such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, short bowel syndrome, bladder extrophy and complex congenital conditions.
- Nutrition and breast-feeding program, - including parenteral nutrition that is modified appropriately to prevent and treat liver disease. The program continues to outpatient management with home parenteral nutrition.
- Extra Corporeal Life Support (ECLS) -Program for respiratory neonatal diseases
- Neonatal hemodynamics and transitional physiology program
- Micropremie program
- Neurocritical care and therapeutic hypothermia program
- Respiratory care program with ventilatory strategies specifically adapted to each patient
- Perinatal consult program
- Neurodevelopmental therapy and high-risk infant follow-up program
There is a robust quality and safety program with several key performance indicators and various quality improvement projects.
Our faculty is involved in multiple research projects from clinical to translational research and have been recipients of multiple peer review grants locally and internationally. There is also an ACGME-I (Accredited Graduate Medical Education International) certified Neonatology Fellowship Training program. Our program offers advance-training fellowships in neonatology, with focus on the care of the most complex neonates.
