The day you've been waiting for is finally here. Your tiny fighter is coming home from the NICU! But as any NICU parent knows, discharge day brings joy and anxiety together. We at Ikshana Healthcare transform this fragile transition, led confidently and comfortably by Dubai's most comprehensive post-NICU follow-up care program, designed by expert neonatologists.
