Srinagar: An additional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) block at the Rainawari healthcare facility is expected to become operational next month, Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Akshay Labroo has announced.
The upcoming facility is expected to strengthen neonatal healthcare services in Srinagar by improving access to specialised medical care for newborn babies who require intensive monitoring and treatment. The development is aimed at enhancing healthcare infrastructure and expanding critical care services for infants.
The operationalisation of the additional NICU block is expected to provide further support to healthcare professionals in managing newborns with serious medical conditions and ensuring timely medical intervention. Neonatal intensive care facilities play a crucial role in treating premature babies and infants who need specialised medical attention during the early stages of life.
The announcement highlights ongoing efforts to improve healthcare facilities in Srinagar and strengthen medical services for vulnerable patients. The new block is expected to contribute towards better neonatal care and provide additional capacity to address the growing need for specialised newborn healthcare services in the region.
