Attending to neonates at delivery is a critical aspect of neonatal care, requiring meticulous attention and prompt action to ensure the well-being of the newborn. This involves a series of coordinated steps, beginning with the assessment of the baby's vital signs immediately after birth. Healthcare providers must be prepared to perform neonatal resuscitation if needed, addressing issues such as airway management, breathing support, and circulation stabilization. Skin-to-skin contact between the mother and baby is encouraged to promote bonding and thermoregulation. Additionally, monitoring for any congenital anomalies or birth-related injuries is essential. The healthcare team, including obstetricians, pediatricians, and nurses, work collaboratively to provide comprehensive care, ensuring the neonate's smooth transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life.

• Treat and diagnose neonates for ailments such infections, respiratory issues, and birth deformities.
• Oversee the medical care of premature, seriously unwell, or surgically requiring neonates.
• Make certain that neonates in critical condition get the nourishment they need to heal and flourish.
• During a cesarean section or any other delivery where the mother or child has health issues that could jeopardize the infant's health and necessitate medical attention in the delivery room, tend to the newborn.
• Assist neonates who have any potentially fatal medical conditions.
