Five sets of twins are currently being treated at the Sanz Laniado Medical Center's neonatal unit. This is an all-time high for the medical center's neonatal unit, which has been operating for decades.
The premature babies, weighing between 1400 grams and 2900 grams, were born at 31-36 weeks of pregnancy. The parents are residents of the Central and Sharon regions.
The treatment of the five pairs of twins is concurrent with the treatment of the triplets born at week 33.
The neonatal intensive care unit at the Sanz Medical Center at Laniado Hospital is located in a new, fully protected complex and is one of the largest in the country, containing a large intensive care unit, an intermediate care unit, and a unit preparing for discharge. The neonatal intensive care unit is equipped with advanced medical equipment and devices, as well as a space for families to stay, allowing for extended stays around the clock.
Dr. Arie Simonds, director of the neonatal unit, and Etty Littig, nurse in charge of the neonatal unit: "We are privileged to treat premature babies of all weights, born in early weeks. More and more parents feel safe coming to the Sanz Medical Center at Laniado Hospital, despite known clinical problems of the fetuses, due to their trust in the neonatal unit team, which consists of a multidisciplinary team of medical, nursing and paramedical staff.
""As those who have been in the premature infant ward for many years, we are excited to care for so many pairs of twins at the same time, and even triplets, and we work around the clock to enable the premature babies to be released as early as possible, in perfect health, for the rest of their lives.".
