Neonatology

Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that focuses on the medical care of newborn infants, especially the ill or premature. It typically deals with:

Premature and low birth weight infants

Birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen during birth)

Neonatal infections

Congenital anomalies

Neonatal intensive care (NICU)

Neonatologists work in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and collaborate closely with obstetricians, pediatricians, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the best outcomes for newborns.
