Abstract
Strategies for free transfer of sick neonates to hospitals are in place, but reports suggest suboptimal status of the same across the country. Over 7 years, our Sick Neonate Retrieval Service (SNRS) transported 165 neonates, of whom 92.1% survived. Safe, stable transportation mandates the presence of a neonatology-trained doctor and nurse in an equipped ambulance.
