A medical and financial assessment of the Neonatal Unit at Groote Schuur Hospital showed that the emphasis was on high care provided at a cost of R265 per patient per day. Intensive care cost R530 and low care R88 per day. The average was R172 per day. Infants of very low birth weight (< 1,500 g) accounted for 58% of expenditure. Half of this amount was spent on infants of below 1,000 g; the cost was R14 621 per survivor and R344 per quality-adjusted life-year. The cost declined progressively for infants of greater birth weight. There are a paucity of comparable local data, but the cost of the care was very reasonable.
对格罗特舒尔医院新生儿科的医疗和财务评估显示，重点是提供高水平护理，每位患者每天的费用为265兰特。重症监护每天花费530兰特，低水平护理每天花费88兰特。平均每天为172兰特。极低出生体重（<1500克）的婴儿占支出的58%。其中一半的费用花在了体重低于1000克的婴儿身上；每位幸存者的费用为14621兰特，每质量调整生命年的费用为344兰特。出生体重较大的婴儿的费用逐渐下降。当地缺乏可比数据，但护理费用非常合理。
