Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

Tzu Chi Hospital provides a NICU (Non-Intensive Care Unit) as a special care unit for newborns who require more intensive care and monitoring. Supported by experienced medical personnel and comprehensive medical facilities, both mothers and babies receive safe and optimal care.

 

We understand that when a baby is admitted to the NICU, mothers and families often feel anxious about being separated from their babies. Therefore, Tzu Chi Hospital's NICU implements a family-centered care approach, actively involving the family to ensure the baby remains close and comfortable with their parents. This approach is realized through:

 

• Opportunities for parents to accompany their babies without visiting hours restrictions
• Facilities for parents to accompany their babies 24/7
• Full access for parents to touch, hold, and breastfeed
• Parental involvement in care routines (bathing, breastfeeding, bonding time)
• Education and support so parents can go home with the ability to care for their babies according to their needs, such as breastfeeding directly or using a feeding tube (NGT), as well as 24/7 communication support with the NICU team
