NICU needs upgrade to a vital piece of equipment
KAMLOOPS — Giving birth to a premature baby, or finding out your baby is critically ill can be a frightening experience for any parent.
But thanks to the dedicated staff at Royal Inland Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a time of profound worry can be made much easier.
The NICU provides care, treatment and comfort for the youngest patients in the hospital. But an important piece of equipment, that doctors and nurses rely on to provide respiratory care to the babies who need it most, is outdated, and in need of an upgrade.
