The neonatology unit provides round-the-clock surveillance and the specialised care mentioned in article R. 6123-41 every day of the year, whether or not newborn babies are born in the establishment.
An intensive care sector for newborns presenting one or more acute pathologies or coming out of a neonatal intensive care unit may be organised within the neonatology unit.
If the neonatology unit where the child is located is unable to provide appropriate care for the newborn, it will arrange for the child to be transferred to a unit or establishment capable of providing appropriate care.
