Neonates may require emergency transfers for several reasons:
Premature birth: Premature infants often need advanced care that may not be available at all hospitals. Congenital anomalies: Conditions such as congenital heart defects may require immediate surgical intervention. Respiratory distress syndrome: This condition demands specialized respiratory support that some facilities may lack. Sepsis: Severe infections require prompt and intensive medical attention. Neurological disorders: Issues like seizures or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy may necessitate transfer to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
