Overview & Mission
The Guardian of New Life in Central Taiwan Since 1991, the Division of Neonatology at China Medical University Children's Hospital (CMUCH) has been dedicated to the specialized care of premature and critically ill newborns. As a government-designated "Core Hospital for Pediatric Critical and Rare Diseases" and the only "Preterm Infant Training Center" in Central Taiwan, we operate a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with 24 beds and a Special Care Nursery (SBR) with 60 beds.
Clinical Excellence & Achievements
Leading the Nation in Survival Rates Our clinical outcomes align with international standards. Based on Taiwan Neonatal Network (TNN) data from 2016-2024, our survival rates are exceptional:

• Very Low Birth Weight Infants (<1,500g): 98% survival rate.
• Extremely Preterm Infants (22-25 weeks): Significant upward trend in intact survival, with 25-week infants achieving a 78.5% survival rate.
• National Recognition: Three-time winner of the SNQ National Biotechnology and Medical Care Quality Award for excellence in respiratory and developmental care.

Regional Neonatal Transport & Dispatch Center
24/7 Professional Retrieval Service Under the "Pediatric & Neonatal Transfer Program," we manage a dedicated Regional Dispatch Center. Our specialized transport team, equipped with mobile incubators, ventilators, and real-time monitoring, provides 24/7 retrieval services across Central Taiwan (Taichung, Changhua, Nantou, Miaoli, and Yunlin) and offshore islands (Penghu), ensuring critical infants receive expert care from the moment of pick-up.

Cutting-edge Technology & Research
Innovation in Neonatal Care We integrate advanced therapies and AI-driven insights to push the boundaries of neonatal medicine:

• Advanced Therapies: Pioneers in Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) therapy, High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV), and the region’s leading Neonatal Hypothermia Treatment Center.
• Translational Research: Focused on stem cell therapy for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and probiotic and noval interventions for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
• Smart Medicine: Development of AI-assisted diagnostic tools for neonatal ultrasound (POCUS) and predictive modeling for early sepsis detection.
• Academic Impact: Numerous publications in top-tier journals  and active participation in international networks such as AsianNEO.

Holistic & Multidisciplinary Care
"Every Baby Matters, None Left Behind" Our care extends beyond the NICU. We employ a multidisciplinary approach involving neonatologists, Nurse practioners, physical/occupational therapists, nutritionists, and social workers. Through high-fidelity simulation training and a comprehensive post-discharge follow-up program, we ensure the best possible neurodevelopmental outcomes for every child.
