Neonatal medicine is a specialized branch of pediatrics that focuses on the medical care and treatment of newborns, particularly those who are ill or premature. It involves the diagnosis, management, and prevention of conditions that affect neonates (newborns), typically from birth to 28 days of life. Neonatal medicine is critical in the early stages of life, as newborns are vulnerable to a range of health issues due to their developing systems.
