A state-of-the-art High-Dependency Unit (HDU) for neonatal and maternal care has been opened at the Bustamante Hospital for Children on Tuesday (July 14, 2020).
The 4,359 square-foot facility, established at a cost of $315 million, provides specialized bed spaces for critically ill neonates.
It comprises 10 beds (including two isolation rooms), a nurses’ station, one sluice room, a breastfeeding area and a restroom.
Dr. Michelle-Ann Dawson, Senior Medical Officer, BHC, thanked the EU for the unit that will benefit thousands of critically ill children and their parents.
