Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
🍼 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
At Babylon Children Hospital, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a place of hope, healing, and gentle care — designed especially for newborns who need extra medical attention after birth.
We understand how delicate and precious every newborn life is. Whether your baby is born premature, underweight, or needs support due to a medical condition, our NICU provides a safe and advanced environment for recovery and growth.
Our NICU is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, modern incubators, ventilators, and continuous monitoring systems to ensure your baby receives the highest standard of care. But beyond the machines and monitors, what truly defines our NICU is the compassion of our team — experienced neonatologists, pediatric nurses, and caregivers who treat every baby as their own.
Parents are an important part of the healing journey. We encourage your presence, love, and touch because we believe a mother’s warmth and a father’s care are as powerful as medicine itself.
At Babylon Children Hospital, we don’t just care for newborns — we care for families. Every heartbeat matters to us, and every tiny smile reminds us why we do what we do.

The neonatal intensive care unit, commonly known as NICU, is a highly specialized healthcare unit designed for the treatment and intensive medical care of newborns. Our NICUs are embedded with state-of-the-art medical equipment, advanced support systems for vital organs, such as CRRT, HFOV and ECMO services, and a team of highly skilled medical professionals dedicated to providing specialized care for neonates. It is worth noting that newborns in need of intensive care often fare better when they are born in a facility with a NICU, rather than being transferred after birth.
Babylon Children's Hospitals boasts one of the largest and most advanced tertiary care NICUs, featuring an integrated perinatal center that encompasses fetal medicine and high-risk obstetrics care, all under a single roof. Within Rainbow's NICU, you will find the pioneering Advanced Neonatal Transport Service in India. These NICUs provide the highest level of neonatal care, with Neonatologists, Respiratory Therapists, Lactation Consultants, and Nurses available round-the-clock, ensuring attention to critically ill newborns and preterm infants. With a wealth of experience and a track record of success in treating infants, Rainbow's expertise shines when caring for preterm babies, low birth weight infants, and neonates with respiratory issues.
Babylon has achieved humungous success in treating extremely low birth weight (ELBW) babies, those weighing less than 1 kg at birth, and holds the country's highest survival rate for these tiny infants. Notably, Rainbow's NICU team successfully saved a baby with a birth weight of just 375gms, earning recognition in the Limca Record for saving the smallest baby of South East Asia. Furthermore, the team saved a 22-week preterm baby with a birth weight of 450gm. Babylon Childrens Hospital has even earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for hosting the largest gathering of people born prematurely.
Rainbow's Mothers' Milk Bank ensures that preterm babies born at Babylon receive only human milk. Additionally, newborns have access to our special Kangaroo Mother Care Services, encouraging and supporting the development of a strong emotional bond between mothers and their children, making our approach to childbirth centered around the family.
The Department of neonatology at Babylon offers comprehensive treatment for various conditions, including Child Development, Child Neurology, Pediatric Allergy/Immunology/Pulmonology, Pediatric Cardiology, Pediatric Endocrinology, Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition, Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Pediatric Nephrology, and Pediatric Hematology & Oncology.
Additional facilities at Babylon include an advanced CPAP setup for infants with respiratory diseases, laboratory services, open head warmers and incubators, ROP care, physiological monitors, a Pediatric ICU, a vaccination center, bubble CPAP, and ventilators.
