Baby Warmer


At the clinic we recently had this awesome "Baby Warmer" custom made for us. Thanks to a generous donor in the USA we were able to design and have this piece of equipment built for our maternity unit. Heat loss in a newborn can be a serious situation. So it will be a huge blessing to have this unit to assist babies who are in distress or just need a little warming.

The unit can serve as a crib, a warmer or a resuscitation unit. There is a heating unit on the left side that blows warm air on the baby.

The front and right side break down so that the nurses can get in close to the baby to do emergency procedures if needed. There is even a hidden drawer on the right side where emergency equipment can be stored.


Phoebe, one of our expectant mamas was checking out the new unit with our nurse, Percival.
