Our center has an NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) with six beds and a GCU (Growing Care Unit) with six beds, and is designated as the Regional Center of Maternal-Fetal/Neonatal Medicine.
Patients treated here are infants with a variety of illnesses including infants with premature respiration, circulation or feeding function as well as neonates referred from both in and outside Hiroshima Prefecture, infants with a blood disease or malignant tumor, and infants who have been diagnosed with a congenital disease by prenatal testing at our Department of Clinical and Molecular Genetics.
The aim of our treatment is ¡°survival without any aftereffects,¡± and we try to provide medical service based on family-centered care. We also place emphasis on continuous involvement with patients including follow-up after their discharge from hospital.
