Antenatal care among mothers is lacking – Ward manager Since it has been put into operation, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has been seeing admission of over 120 babies monthly, some born prematurely while some were diagnosed with various conditions after birth.NICU is an intensive care unit specialized in the care of ill or premature newborn infants and according to the ward’s manager, Shavanie Ramdihol,Wholesale NBA Jerseys Authentic, the unit cares for any condition that babies might be born with, among then asphyxia or also if the baby develops jaundice within the first 28 days after birth.Shavanie RamdiholThe recently commissioned unit is a three-room facility which separates the critical babies from the less ill.“The first room is for the most critical babies, the second is for the less critical, and sometimes we also put critical babies in the second room, because the first one might be full and the third room is for critical but stable infants,Cheap World Cup Jerseys,” Ramdihol explained.“If a baby is born with any of those conditions, then we have to give care to the baby in the NICU.

It was only last year that 11 nurses from the various hospitals were trained in this field,” Ramdihol added.She explained that there is a shortage of nurses at the unit as well as shortage of equipment. “Some of the equipment is short, we only have three ventilators,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and as soon as one baby comes off, we have to clean it and put another on,Jerseys Wholesale, but we were promised some equipment so we are hoping to get them soon.”“We currently have three nurses on each shift and that is not enough.
