There are several factors to consider when choosing the best neonatology care in Macedonia for your child.

Here is a list of many of them:

-The price range; how much does it cost? Is there financial assistance available if you cannot pay yourself, or do they offer an affordable payment plan?

-What specialties and skills are available? Do they have pediatricians, neonatologists, or other specialties on staff in order to meet your child’s needs?

-What is the emergency plan if there are any complications during delivery that require immediate care at another facility? Are arrangements being made for transportation via ambulance to a nearby hospital with an appropriate medical team for neonatal care?

-Is there a maternity unit on-site, or nearby that you can use if your child is born prematurely and needs special medical attention?

-What are the qualifications of their staff members including doctors, nurses, and other assistants? Do they have additional training in newborn care specifically? For example, some people may have a certification or degree in another area of nursing, but have specialty training as a neonatal nurse.

-What types of equipment are available? Are there incubators, other machines to monitor the baby’s condition and provide the appropriate treatment if needed?

-How many babies can they take at one time? Is it enough for those who may be born prematurely or have complications?
