Perinatal and Neonatal Care

Perinatal and neonatal care focuses on the health and well-being of both mother and baby during the perinatal period, encompassing pregnancy, childbirth, and the immediate postpartum period, as well as the care of newborns in the neonatal period. This specialty involves monitoring maternal health, fetal development, and preparing for labor and delivery. Perinatal care emphasizes prenatal screenings, genetic counseling, and managing high-risk pregnancies to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes. Neonatal care involves providing specialized medical attention to newborns, particularly those born prematurely or with medical conditions requiring intensive care. Neonatologists and perinatologists collaborate closely with obstetricians, pediatricians, and other healthcare providers to provide comprehensive care that addresses the unique needs of both mothers and babies, ensuring a healthy start to life and ongoing support during the critical early stages of development.
