More than 50 babies, along with their parents, doctors, nurses and hospital staff, participated in the event held at Blue Planet in Medicover Hospitals. Families reunited with the medical teams who cared for their babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), creating an emotional and supportive atmosphere.

Awareness Sessions and NICU Success Stories

The hospital organised awareness sessions led by pediatricians and neonatologists, focusing on premature baby care, parental guidance, follow-up care and the role of early intervention.

A short video montage titled From NICU to Nursery showcased Medicover’s NICU success stories and featured the symbolic e-launch of the upgraded Advanced NICU.

Prematurity: A Global Health Challenge

Prematurity—defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation—remains a significant global health concern, with one in ten babies born prematurely. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Tanmesh Kumar Sahu, Consultant Neonatologist and NICU In-Charge, said complications among preterm infants may include breathing and feeding difficulties, infections, vision or hearing challenges and long-term developmental issues.
