dc.description.abstract Background: - The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), with trained health professionals and fully equipped lifesaving supplies. The scarcity of resources is the main bottle nick for NICU service implementation.

Quantitative data was collected using a structured questionnaire, Parents of admitted newborns were selected by convenience sampling technique. Data was entered into Epi data 4.6.0.4 and exported into SPSS Version 26 for analysis. Bi-variable & multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with parent satisfaction. The key informants were select purposefully for qualitative method. Results: 63 percent of the required resources were available for the implementation of NICU service in the study setting. The human resources and rooms have been inadequate. Health service providers' compliance with the standard national guideline was 82%. However, there was no hand washing conducted at the proper hand-washing event according to guidelines.
