Newborn Referred for Higher Care? Here Is What Parents Should Know
When a newborn needs intensive care, families often have to search from hospital to hospital while valuable time passes. If an NICU bed is not immediately available where your baby has been referred, or you have been advised to arrange alternate neonatal care, do not lose time.
Parents can contact nearby hospitals directly to confirm current bed availability, neonatal capabilities and Ayushman eligibility before transferring the baby.
Call Before You Move a Sick Baby
A sick newborn should be stabilised before transport and should arrive where the neonatal team is ready. Call us first so we can confirm current readiness, tell you what clinical details the neonatal team needs, and prepare for the baby’s arrival.
My Newborn Needs NICU Care – What Should I Do?
Do not delay emergency stabilisation
If the baby has breathing difficulty, severe prematurity, seizures, shock, severe infection or another emergency, medical stabilisation comes first.
Call before transferring the baby
Confirm readiness with the receiving hospital in advance and allow the neonatal team to prepare accordingly for safe transfer.
Share the baby’s medical information
Keep referral notes, birth details, gestational age, birth weight, current treatment, ventilator/oxygen details and available reports ready.
Carry Ayushman / beneficiary details
Our Ayushman help desk can check eligibility and guide the family regarding applicable documentation and authorisation.
