Newham General Hospital runs as a Level 2 Neonatal Unit. This means
that care is provided for babies born between 27 and 34 weeks, and
for babies born with a serious illness.
The Unit has 21 cots; 4 of these cots are designated for High
Dependency /short term Intensive Care. The Unit is adjacent to the
delivery suite and consists of 6 rooms.
One large room in the middle is used for Intensive and High
Dependency babies, and several large and smaller rooms for the
Special Care of babies in incubators and cots.
There is a Transitional Care Ward for mothers and well babies who
need extra care and/or observation. A room for parents to enjoy
some privacy with their babies and a sitting room for parents and
