What is Neonatal Transport?
Specialised Care During Transfer
Neonatal transport is not routine shifting.
It involves the safe transfer of newborns who require medical support from one facility to another.
Unlike standard ambulance transfers, neonatal transport requires:
- Medical stabilisation before movement
- Continuous monitoring during transit
- Trained personnel experienced in newborn care
Vrundavan ensures that babies are transferred with care, planning, and clinical oversight.
Our transport & shifting approach
Stabilise First. Transfer Safely. Monitor Continuously.
At Vrundavan, transport decisions are guided by one principle:
Do what is safest for the baby.
Our approach includes:
- Rapid clinical assessment and stabilisation
- Coordination with referring doctors and hospitals
- Safe transport planning for newborns requiring NICU care
- Continuous monitoring during transfer when needed
Every step is designed to minimise stress and risk to the newborn.
Receiving babies from multiple districts
Advanced Care Beyond City Limits
Vrundavan is equipped to receive newborns from various districts across the region, providing access to specialised neonatal care where it may not be locally available.
We support:
Stabilising breathing, circulation, and temperature
Correcting metabolic or electrolyte imbalances
Minimising stress and handling
Distance should never limit a newborn’s chance at quality care.
What is in-utero transfer?
The Safest Transfer Is Before Birth
In-utero transfer refers to shifting the mother before delivery, so that the baby is born in a centre equipped with advanced neonatal care.
When possible, in-utero transfer is:
- Safer than transferring a critically ill newborn after birth
- Associated with better outcomes in high-risk and preterm deliveries
- Less stressful for the baby and the family
Vrundavan strongly supports in-utero transfers whenever clinical conditions allow.
When is in-utero transfer recommended?
In-utero transfer may be advised when:
- Preterm delivery is anticipated
- High-risk pregnancy complications are identified
- Advanced NICU support is likely to be required at birth
Early identification and timely decision-making improve outcomes significantly.
Coordinated care with obstetric & referring teams
Seamless Communication Saves Time
Successful transfers depend on collaboration.
Vrundavan ensures:
Stabilising breathing, circulation, and temperature
Correcting metabolic or electrolyte imbalances
Minimising stress and handling
This coordination allows care to begin the moment the baby arrives.
A Message to Parents
Not every situation can be predicted.
But preparation and timely decisions can change outcomes.
At Vrundavan, we believe that the right care should reach every newborn—no matter where they are born.
Because when every minute matters,
preparedness makes the difference.
