Star of Excellence
Neonatal Transport Program
Critically
ill neonate babies are often born in facilities which have access to
the specialist care required. However, neonates born outside of a
specialist setting require emergency transfer to such care. In October
2014, the Women’s hospital developed a multi-site transport program to
facilitate the earlier transfer of neonates to specialized care
services.
