Overview of the 19 Belgian
NICU's
List of 19 NICU's
AZ St-Jan Brugge
To provide high-quality care, we work with state-of-the-art digital equipment, for example with central monitoring, new incubators, new ventilators, special hypothermia treatment for newborns with oxygen deficiency and for the administration of nitric oxide. We achieve maximum safety with a separate, fully equipped box for neonatal surgery. Here we can, for example, insert a stoma in the abdomen, laser the eyes in case of a severe retinal defect (retinopathy) or surgically close a persistent open ductus of Botalli. This is a unique concept in Flanders.
UZ Gent
The Neonatal Intensive Care Service provides intensive or special care to newborn. For this purpose, the service has advanced equipment and uses the latest treatment techniques. The parents of sick patients are involved in the care as much as possible. This allows them to maintain and strengthen the bond with their child.
Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg Genk
When your baby is born premature or has problems adapting to extra-uterine life, your child will be admitted to the neonatal care service. During care, we pay close attention to your baby’s well-being. Paying attention to your baby’s environment has a beneficial influence on his development process.
UZ Leuven
In the neonatal intensive care unit, we treat about 600 premature and sick newborn children every year. Treatment is aimed at giving these children the best possible future.
UZA Edegem
Neonatology represents normal care of the newborn in the mother’s room, care in the non-intensive care unit and care in the intensive neonatal care service.
AZ Middelheim Antwerpen
The Neonatology Department at ZNA consists of two units. A Neonatal Intensive Care (NIC) unit, here we care for newborn babies who need intensive care and monitoring, and an N* unit. The N* unit houses newborns with milder problems.
Sint-Augustinus Wilrijk
The neonatology department at GZA Hospitals campus Saint Augustinus consists of two parts. The NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) has 15 intensive care places. We also have a less intensive unit. Depending on the medical care your baby needs, he/she will be admitted to one of these wards.
UZ Brussel
In the Neonatology Department, in addition to premature infants, sick newborn babies are admitted who require specialized observation and/or therapy.
Depending on the care they need, they stay in the intensive care unit (NICU) or non-intensive care unit (N*). These wards are connected to the delivery ward and are located next to the maternity ward.
Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc Bruxelles
The neonatal intensive care unit provides care for:
– children born prematurely (from 24 weeks gestation)
– children born with severe malformative pathology (digestive tract pathology, diaphragmatic hernia, urinary system pathology, polymalformative syndrome).
Children born with cardiac pathology are cared for by the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
CHIREC Bruxelles
The Neonatology Department is an accredited neonatal intensive care center and referral center for the Braine-l’Alleud and Ste-Anne St-Remi hospitals. We care for premature newborns of all gestational ages, as well as sick full-term babies.
CHU Saint-Pierre Bruxelles
Our neonatology departments welcome newborns with a philosophy of care focused on the individual needs of each child, in close collaboration with parents.
HUDERF Bruxelles
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit welcomes newborns who require specialized care and monitoring from birth.
This is the case, for example, for babies whose adaptation to extra-uterine life is difficult, or who present congenital diseases, infections or who are born prematurely.
Hôpital Erasme Bruxelles
The neonatology department is dedicated to newborn babies requiring special care. We encourage parents to stay close to their babies during their stay in hospital.
Hôpital Civil Marie Curie Charleroi
Pediatrics is specialized medicine for children. It covers the period around and after birth (perinatology and neonatology), up to the age of 15.
Most pediatric subspecialties are developed at Charleroi University Hospital.
The pediatrics and neonatology department of the Hôpital Civil Marie Curie is an accredited training center for junior doctors in pediatrics.
Grand Hôpital de Charleroi
GHdC’s Neonatology department welcomes premature newborns (from the limit of viability) and full-term newborns with medical and/or surgical problems.
CHR Namur
This department cares for premature newborns from 24 weeks gestational age and all full-term newborns with significant medical pathologies.
Surgical pathologies are managed in collaboration with the HUDERF Pediatric Surgery Department.
CHC MontLégia
When a baby is born prematurely or presents complications at birth, he or she is hospitalized and monitored in the neonatology department. Our priorities are your baby, his or her health, and your family.
We work closely with obstetrics, pediatrics, medical-technical services, pediatric surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery and adult medicine. This enables us to provide multidisciplinary care before, during and after birth, at a single site (Clinique CHC MontLégia).
CHR de la Citadelle Liège
The university neonatology department cares for all newborn babies from the university maternity hospital or transferred from referral hospitals in the provinces of Liège and Luxembourg.
From before birth, close collaboration with obstetricians (antenatal diagnosis, high-risk pregnancy service and perinatal medicine) enables us to participate in the management of pregnancy, and to effectively supervise high-risk births.
CHU Tivoli La Louvière
Neonatology is a medical specialty that focuses on the care of newborn babies, defined by an age of less than 28 days after birth. These can be premature (born before 37 weeks’ amenorrhea), normally mature (born between 37 and 42 weeks’ amenorrhea) or post-mature (born after 42 weeks’ amenorrhea).
