Janil Puthucheary on enhancing monitoring of infants in neonatal intensive care units

Continuous monitoring of vital signs is routinely performed for all infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in all acute hospitals with neonatal care services. KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore General Hospital and the National University Hospital are reviewing and enhancing their monitoring measures for higher-risk infants who are not admitted to the NICU but may benefit from closer monitoring. Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary said this in reply to an MP's questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 14).
