The Neonatology Service at Ruli District Hospital provides comprehensive care for newborns, especially premature infants, low birth weight babies, and those with medical conditions requiring specialized management.
The unit delivers essential newborn care, neonatal resuscitation, thermal care, infection prevention and treatment, feeding support, phototherapy for neonatal jaundice, oxygen therapy, and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC).
The service also promotes exclusive breastfeeding, monitors newborn growth and development, supports parents through education and counseling, and works closely with the maternity department to ensure continuity of care.
Critically ill newborns are stabilized and referred to higher-level facilities when advanced neonatal intensive care is needed.
