KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) has received three pulse oximeters equipped with neonatal probes, along with a reclining chair for the NICU Parents’ Room, through a donation from the Kiwanis Club of New Kingston.

The pulse oximeters will support the NICU team in monitoring oxygen saturation and heart rates in newborns receiving specialised care. The reclining chair will provide added comfort for parents spending extended periods at the hospital while their babies undergo treatment.

Dr Jillian Lewis, consultant neonatologist, welcomed the donation, noting the importance of both the medical equipment and the support for families.
