High Risk Neonatal Clinic
What is High Risk Neonatal clinic?
A High-Risk Neonatal Clinic (HRNC) is a specialized medical facility dedicated to the care and follow-up of newborns who have experienced critical health challenges at birth. These infants often include preterm babies, those with low birth weight, congenital anomalies, infections, or complications arising from maternal conditions. The primary goal of the clinic is to provide continuous medical support, monitor development, and offer interventions that improve long-term health outcomes.
