向135家医院发送了一份关于现有设施和新生儿护理概念的调查表。共有18家教学医院、9家非教学医院和5家民营医院作出回应。为大多数托儿所提供的空间是不够的。护士：婴儿和医生：婴儿的比例低于建议。许多非重症监护室缺乏无菌维持。关于设备，一般的概念似乎是，有孵化器和光疗单位是足够的，大多数nscu没有超越它。只有40%的医院为高风险分娩开设了专门的产前诊所，并不是所有的医院都对高风险婴儿进行随访。在入院的低体重婴儿中，1000-1500克组的婴儿数量多于其他组，发病率和死亡率更高，因此占据了新生儿护理的主要份额。很高兴地注意到，大多数托儿所更喜欢母乳喂养低体重婴儿。结论是，印度的新生儿护理状况还有很长的路要走。
A questionnaire regarding the existing facilities and concept of newborn care was sent to 135 hospitals. A total of 18 teaching, 9 non-teaching and 5 private hospitals responded. Space provided for most of the nurseries was inadequate. Ratios of nurse: baby and doctor: baby fell short of the recommended. Maintenance of asepsis was lacking in many NSCUs. Regarding equipment, the general concept seems to be that having incubators and phototherapy units is adequate and most of the NSCUs did not go beyond it. Only 40% of the hospitals run special antenatal clinic for high risk deliveries and not all hospitals followed up high risk babies. Among the admitted LBW babies, those belonging to 1000-1500 g group outnumbered others, had higher morbidity and mortality, thereby taking away a major share of newborn care. It was a pleasure to note that most nurseries preferred breast milk for LBW babies. It is concluded that status of newborn care in India has a long way to go.
