We have initiated a special Neonatal Follow-Up Program at Maternity Pediatric Clinic for all newborns born at our clinic, allowing neonatologists to gather detailed information about their condition post-discharge and provide further care if needed.

The care of both healthy and at-risk newborns is extremely important to us so it is crucial that every newborn receives follow-up care during the perinatal period. The goal of this program is to identify those patients who require closer monitoring, regular examinations, and if necessary, early intervention during the initial stages of their neurological development.

The first step of the follow-up takes place in the delivery room and hospital ward, where the attending specialist identifies newborns needing enhanced follow-up based on their medical history and physical examination.

The second step of the follow-up occurs during the 1st and 4th weeks after discharge within the framework of the specialized outpatient clinic, where we gain a more detailed understanding of the newborns’ condition.

The third stage of the follow-up is a developmental neurological examination at 3 months of age, aiming to document the early neurological status and plan any necessary further care.

To this end, we have established a multidisciplinary team comprising neonatologists, neurologists, psychologists, and physical therapists, who work together to ensure the care of at-risk newborns.
