This week we saw the opening of the SCBU unit at SKH – WC. SCBU gives the opportunity to newborns that are well enough to not be admitted to NICU but have a condition that prevents them to be admitted to the normal maternity care. At SCBU the family is encouraged to be involved in the care of the baby which will improve the bonding between the parents and the baby, improves breast feeding, affects growth which in the end builds a better foundation for a comfortable family. Newborns that are admitted to SCBU could for example have jaundice, low blood sugar, breathing irregularities among other conditions.
