Neonatology is a specialised branch of paediatrics focused on the medical care of newborn babies, especially those who are premature, unwell, or require specialised intensive monitoring after birth.
At Prince Court Medical Centre, our Neonatology Services has one of the best teams of dedicated newborn paediatric specialists in Kuala Lumpur providing comprehensive care for newborns, supported by a fully equipped Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and a multidisciplinary medical team.
From delivery to discharge and beyond, our neonatology team supports both babies and parents every step of the way. Our services include pre-delivery counselling for high-risk pregnancies, attendance at high-risk deliveries, newborn resuscitation, neonatal intensive care, well-baby nursery care, and post-discharge follow-up to ensure continuity of care.
Our inpatient neonatology services support both healthy newborns and babies requiring medical attention, providing safe, evidence-based care under the supervision of experienced newborn specialists in KL.
Our services include:
Well-baby nursery care
Routine newborn vaccinations
Comprehensive newborn screening through:
Detailed physical examination
Checks for hearing impairment, congenital hypothyroidism, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, and selected inborn errors of metabolism
Phototherapy for neonatal jaundice
Dedicated breastfeeding support by trained healthcare professionals to promote optimal nutrition and bonding.
Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) delivers advanced, round-the-clock care for premature babies (preterm babies or preemies) and critically ill newborns with complex medical needs. Led by experienced neonatologists in Malaysia, the NICU is equipped with modern life-support technology and staffed 24/7 by specially trained neonatal nurses to ensure the highest standard of care for fragile newborns.
We care for newborns with:
Prematurity, including extremely premature infants (<28 weeks’ gestation)
Congenital anomalies, involving the heart, gastrointestinal tract, brain or spine
Breathing disorders, such as pneumonia, meconium aspiration syndrome, transient tachypnoea of the newborn, and respiratory distress syndrome
Neonatal infections
Haematological disorders or malignancies
Feeding and nutritional difficulties
Babies discharged from the NICU or HDU receive continued care from our newborn specialists in KL, including long-term growth monitoring, developmental assessments, and referrals to early intervention programmes when required.
After discharge, we continue to support your baby’s health through outpatient follow-up consultations. These visits focus on monitoring jaundice, feeding and nutrition, growth and development, vaccination schedules, and providing parents with anticipatory guidance during the early months of life.
Parents across Malaysia choose Prince Court Medical Centre for NICU care in Kuala Lumpur because of our experienced neonatologists, advanced neonatal technology, and strong emphasis on family-centred newborn care.
Our neonatology care is delivered by a highly experienced, multidisciplinary team comprising neonatologists, post-basic trained neonatal nurses, and allied health professionals including dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and audiologists.
When needed, care is supported by paediatric subspecialists such as paediatric cardiologists, surgeons, neurologists, ophthalmologists, nephrologists, urologists, ENT surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, and developmental specialists.
We strongly believe in family-centred care. Parents are an essential part of the newborn care team. Our family-centred approach encourages parental involvement in daily care of their newborn. We prioritise clear communication, emotional support, and shared decision-making to ensure families feel informed and supported throughout their baby’s care journey.
Our services include:
Management of high-risk pregnancies by provision of pre-delivery parent counselling and close collaboration with obstetricians in the antenatal period, delivery and post-birth.
Post-operative and palliative neonatal care, and bereavement support when needed.
Encouragement for parents to room-in, visit their babies freely in the NICU, and participate actively in care.
At Prince Court Medical Centre, our focus is not only on treating neonatal conditions but on supporting healthy growth, development, and family well-being.
