Specifications of the Neonatal Care Unit

The Neonatal Care Unit is included in a “mother-child ward” which has a maternity, a High Risk Pregnancies Unit, a Neonatal care Unit and a Paediatric Unit.

The Service has 15 beds for the Intensive Neonatal Intensive Care (NIC) and 8 beds for the Neonatal Care (N*).

Each year, about 350 newborns infants are admitted in the Service (12% of birth).

This low level of admissions is the result of a surveillance policy for newborns in need of low care in the Maternity. The Neonatal Service works closely with the High Risk Pregnancies Unit. That Service welcomes women who need a high level of surveillance, from Edith Cavell Clinic and from Braine l’Alleud Clinic.
