What to Expect

Your Visit

Parents are part of the care team. You are encouraged to be present, to touch, to hold, to sing. We practice kangaroo care, support breastfeeding and pumping, and explain every decision in the language that is easiest for you.
We don't just measure progress in grams, but in the quiet courage of a first deep breath. In this department, the smallest fighters teach us the greatest lessons about resilience.
Dr. Hania Al-Jouzy Kasbari | Head of the Neonatal Department
