About the The Neonatal Unit
The Neonatal Unit (NNU) at The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne (RCH) provides highly specialized care to the sickest newborn infants from all over Australia and the Pacific Islands.
The NNU is a unique place where many of the treatments and procedures are available “exclusively” at this facility.
Each year over 700 babies are transferred to the NNU by the Newborn Emergency Transport Service (NETS) from other Maternity Hospitals, unable to provide specialized care.
Over 40% of the babies undergo major surgery. Over 300 babies receive artificial ventilation via mechanical respirators. Most of the babies are seen by specialist doctors from the many medical disciplines available only at the Royal Children’s Hospital – Melbourne. The highly complex pediatric investigative services including MRI, CT scans, digital angiography, fluoroscopy, endoscopy, electroencephalography, metabolic and laboratory tests, echocardiography and cardiac catheter are not available at other hospitals.
Many of the advances over the years have been made possible by the very strong commitment to Research and Education by all members of the Neonatal Unit. The best care of the sickest infants cannot occur without the valuable achievements provided through Research and Education. In addition, the fundraising and awareness raising efforts provided by A Celebration of Life via the RCH Foundation is essential to the Neonatal Unit in order to help it achieve these goals.
