The “unitard” is usually a highly trained medical doctor or a nurse who works with a team of highly dedicated assistant. The WHO recommends a nurse to patient ratio of 1:1. In addition, the unit should have a resident medical doctor with the relevant specialty training 24 hours a day. Other staff includes physiotherapists, nutritionists, laboratory technicians, biomedical technicians, pharmacists, counselors and support staff."}
