Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that focuses on the medical care of newborn infants, especially those who are premature, critically ill, or have congenital disorders. Neonatologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting newborns, including respiratory distress, infections, birth defects, and developmental issues. Neonatology encompasses the intensive care provided in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and emphasizes the unique medical needs of newborns during the early stages of life.
