Every Newborn Deserves the Safest Start to Life

Some babies need specialised medical care immediately after birth—especially premature babies, low-birth-weight babies, or newborns with breathing difficulties or medical complications.

At Starlings, our Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides 24×7 expert neonatal care with highly trained neonatologists, advanced monitoring systems, and life-support technology to stabilise and support critically ill infants.

Our NICU ensures that the tiniest and most fragile babies receive specialised, evidence-based, and family-centered care from the moment they arrive.

Your newborn may require NICU support if they have:

  • Prematurity (born before 37 weeks)
  • Low birth weight
  • Breathing or respiratory distress
  • Jaundice requiring advanced treatment

  • Low blood sugar levels
  • Congenital anomalies
