Other Services
Until 2020, Pre-term babies were usually sent to tertiary level hospitals in Bokaro. However most of these babies were taken home too early, usually due to poverty. For the last 4 years, with the support of doctors with experience of neonates, telemedicine advice from neonatologists and the training of our nursing team in neonatal care, we have been looking after most of our preterm babies here.
Since 2020 the CMSK has transformed care for preterm babies with support from experienced obstetricians, paediatricians and neonatologists, both in-person and through telemedicine consultations.
Our nursing team underwent specialised training in neonatal care, enabling us to provide comprehensive support in the CMSK.
Better Outcomes: Babies cared for in the CMSK show significantly improved outcomes compared to those referred to other facilities.
Challenges – Extended Care Needs: Babies born prematurely, especially those born between 28 to 32 weeks of gestation, often require extended stays of over two months in our facility. This is a huge financial burden on poor families – even though our bed charges are much below the market rate, and barely covers the cost of care.
