The neonatal intensive care unit is a particular area of the hospital where newborn newborns who require intensive medical care are frequently placed (NICU). The NICU is equipped with cutting-edge equipment and skilled medical staff to provide specialised treatment for the smallest patients. Babies who are not as ill but still require specialised nursing care may also receive care in NICUs. Babies must be transferred to another hospital since some facilities lack the staff to staff a NICU. Infants that require intensive care do better when born in a facility with a NICU than when they are transferred after birth.
