The Neonatal Unit at Wirral Women and Children’s Hospital provides life-saving care to over 400 babies every year who have been born premature or sick in Wirral, Merseyside, Cheshire, and North Wales

It is one of only two level 3 (the highest possible level) intensive care units in the whole of Merseyside and Cheshire and the only unit in the area to provide both level 3 adult and neonatal intensive care on the same site.
