Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Supa Hospital, Mettupalayam, Kotagiri, Ooty & The Nilgiris

At Supa Hospital, we understand that the first few days of a newborn’s life—especially for those born early or with complications—are critical. Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) offers a dedicated, technologically advanced, and nurturing environment for premature babies, low birth weight newborns, and infants who require specialized care in their earliest moments. .

Supa Hospital’s NICU is equipped to care for babies born as early as 34 weeks of gestation and those with birth weights as low as 1.5 kg. Under the expert supervision of neonatologists, pediatricians, trained NICU nurses, and respiratory therapists, our unit provides round-the-clock monitoring, advanced life support, and compassionate care.

Why Choose Supa Hospital's NICU?

Our team specializes in the management of respiratory distress, feeding difficulties, neonatal jaundice, and infections—all common in preterm or medically fragile infants.

We use state-of-the-art tools like continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring, high-frequency oxygen therapy, bubble CPAP, and advanced phototherapy units to stabilize and nurture your baby’s growth. For babies requiring prolonged care, we offer kangaroo mother care (KMC) support, nutritional guidance, and developmental follow-up.
