Neonatology
About
Neonatology is the medical field that deals with the health of a baby during pregnancy, birth, and the first month after birth. As a subspecialty of pediatrics, it focuses on the needs of newborn babies. Neonatology provides prevention, treatment, and intensive care for diseases that may occur after birth. Babies may have difficulty adapting to the outside world when they are born; this entire 28-day period is called the neonatal period. Many tissues and organs develop rapidly after birth. Therefore, monitoring this development and early treatment of potential diseases are vital for the baby's health.
