Career Objectives :
The term “neonate” refers to a newborn infant, typically within the first 28 days of life. When babies are born prematurely or with health complications, they often require specialized medical support to survive and thrive. Neonatal care involves the comprehensive care and monitoring of newborns from birth through the first month of life, focusing on their transition from the womb to the external environment.
The primary objective of neonatal care is to assess and support the infant’s development as they adapt from intrauterine to extrauterine life. A Neonatal Care Technician plays a vital role in this process by delivering specialized care to premature or critically ill newborns, while also offering emotional support to parents navigating what is often a deeply stressful and emotional experience.
