A NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) is a specialized area of the hospital designed to provide intensive neonatal care to newborns who are born prematurely, have birth defects, or suffer from various medical conditions. These may include respiratory distress, infections, or congenital disorders that require continuous monitoring and advanced treatment.
