Kerala's First Mother-Newborn Care Unit @ Medical College, Kozhicode
Kerala's first mother-newborn care unit started functioning at the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital. MNCU is a globally accepted treatment program that offered newborns treatment while ensuring mothers' presence. Through this, the bond between infants and their mothers can be strengthened, neonatal care and breastfeeding can also be strengthened and can ensure the baby's faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.
Newborns who are aged up to 28 days will get treatment at the facility. Ventilators for babies born through premature deliveries and those who suffer from low body weight are available. In a situation where Premature babies are in the neonatal ward and the mother is under medical care elsewhere, breastfeeding and other procedures are difficult. With the new facility in place, such circumstances can be avoided.
The MNCU has 8 beds for mothers and babies, and 8 ICU beds including facilities like ventilators, warmers, phototherapy and multipara monitor for the babies. Facilities for installing 12 baby warmers for neonatal care are also provided in Level 1 and Level 2 rooms. Also, a counseling room and necessary facilities for the staff have been set up in the MNCU. MNCU also provides treatment for infants requiring complex surgery in collaboration with Pediatric Surgery Department.
