Saving Babies

For most parents, a new baby brings enormous joy, but for the few whose newborn faces complications, birth creates the most uncertain and challenging journey of their lives.

Saving Babies follows the stories of newborns requiring immediate medical attention, whose lives are in the hands of dedicated teams at Sydney’s Royal Hospital for Women. In the Intensive Care Unit, doctors, midwives, nurses and specialists work around the clock, saving the lives of the smallest babies imaginable. It’s a place where medical miracles happen every day.

Covering long-term problems diagnosed while the baby is in the womb, to unexpected complications soon after birth, Saving Babies follows the ups and downs of courageous families who share their stories to show the world the incredible work of their medical specialists.
