This framework has been specially designed with infant and pediatric critical care in mind.The trained staff are qualified and able to assess a patient’s condition and begin providing treatment while still at the site of the accident using specialized life-saving equipment.
The patient can then be transferred to the Newborn and Pediatric Surgery Center in cases where an operation is required.
