Surfactant Therapy
In the deficiency of surfactant substance that allows the lungs to open, medical treatment is applied to allow the baby to breathe comfortably.
Newborn Jaundice and Phototherapy
Jaundice, caused by elevated bilirubin levels in the blood, can lead to permanent damage if not intervened in time.
Phototherapy (Light Therapy)
Babies with high jaundice values are placed under special blue light-emitting devices (phototherapy) to reduce bilirubin levels to safe limits.
Blood Exchange
In highly risky jaundice situations, the baby's blood exchange procedure (exchange transfusion) can be safely performed in our unit.
Mother-Baby Harmony and Discharge
We care about strengthening family bonds while our babies recover.
Kangaroo Care
Placing the baby on the mother's or father's chest in skin-to-skin contact ensures the development of a sense of trust and accelerates recovery.
Breast Milk Promotion
Mothers are trained in breast milk pumping and storing, and feeding babies with breast milk is supported to the maximum extent.
