The neonatologists at Miracle Hospital have received both national and worldwide acclaim for their work as pioneers and innovators in the field of neonatology, also known as newborn care. Miracle is a Level III perinatal center and high-dependency unit (HDU), and it serves as a national model for specific procedures and practices in the treatment of preterm newborns. Miracle also provides the most up-to-date technology, therapies, and methods.
Each year, we provide treatment for more than 300 babies who are in serious condition. Our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which has ten beds, is recognized for taking care of newborns who were born extremely prematurely as well as children who were born with medical problems like jaundice or anemia.

Why Choose Miracle Hospital for Neonatal Care?
Both the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the hospital’s high dependency unit (HDU) welcome visitors and their families. We provide care not just for the infant, but also for the mother and father, who are coping with the mental and emotional strain of having a sick child in the hospital with them. Parents and other legal guardians are welcome to see their children at any time of day or night. The visiting hours for siblings and other individuals are from midday to nine o’clock at night, and there are other limitations.
Families of newborns being treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Miracle Hospital have access to a variety of supporting services and programs, including social work, spiritual care, breastfeeding assistance, as well as physical, speech, and occupational therapy.
