Phototherapy Units in Ghana
Available Phototherapy Units Models

Phototherapy units are specialized medical devices designed to deliver light therapy, primarily for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia in newborns. Hyperbilirubinemia, commonly known as jaundice, is a condition characterized by elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. In newborns, the liver may not be fully mature, leading to difficulties in processing and eliminating bilirubin, which can accumulate to harmful levels.

The core function of a phototherapy unit is to convert excess bilirubin into less toxic byproducts that the infant's body can more easily excrete. This is achieved by exposing the infant's skin to specific wavelengths of light, typically in the blue spectrum (around 450-470 nm). This light energy initiates a process called photo-oxidation, transforming unconjugated bilirubin into water-soluble isomers (like lumirubin and other photoisomers) that can be cleared through urine and bile.

The need for reliable and effective phototherapy units in Ghana spans a range of healthcare facilities, from large tertiary institutions to smaller, more localized clinics. Addressing conditions like neonatal jaundice, which requires prompt and accessible treatment, is crucial for improving infant health outcomes across the nation.

For basic, portable phototherapy lamps, you might expect prices to range from approximately GHS 2,500 to GHS 8,000. These are often suitable for home use or smaller clinics. More advanced, standalone phototherapy units, commonly found in hospitals and larger healthcare facilities, can command a higher price. These may feature more sophisticated control panels, integrated incubators or warmers, and advanced light spectrum options, with prices potentially ranging from GHS 10,000 to GHS 30,000 or even more for top-tier, specialized equipment. It's crucial to obtain quotes directly from reputable medical equipment suppliers operating in Ghana to get the most accurate and up-to-date pricing for your specific needs.
