Phototherapy Units in Kenya
Available Phototherapy Units Models

A Phototherapy Unit is a specialized medical device designed to deliver controlled, therapeutic light exposure to patients. These units employ specific wavelengths and intensities of light, most commonly blue and sometimes white or red light, to treat a variety of medical conditions. The core principle involves the interaction of light photons with biological tissues, initiating or accelerating specific physiological processes.

The primary function of a phototherapy unit is to induce controlled photochemical reactions within the body. In its most common application, this involves breaking down bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. Elevated bilirubin levels, known as hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice, can be harmful, especially to newborns. Phototherapy converts unconjugated bilirubin into water-soluble isomers that can be more easily excreted by the liver and kidneys.

Beyond neonatal jaundice, phototherapy units have key clinical applications in:

In Kenya, phototherapy units are essential for a variety of healthcare facilities and departments, playing a crucial role in the management of neonatal jaundice and certain dermatological conditions. The demand spans across different levels of care, from advanced tertiary institutions to primary healthcare providers.

The cost of phototherapy units in Kenya can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of unit, its features, brand reputation, and the supplier. Generally, you can expect a range for these essential medical devices.

For basic, reliable LED phototherapy units, particularly those suitable for neonatal jaundice treatment in smaller clinics or for homecare settings, prices can start from approximately KES 80,000 to KES 150,000. These units often offer effective treatment with lower energy consumption.

Mid-range phototherapy units, which might offer more advanced features such as adjustable intensity, integrated timers, and perhaps a dual-light system for wider coverage, typically fall within the KES 150,000 to KES 350,000 bracket. These are common in larger hospitals and specialized neonatal units.

High-end, state-of-the-art phototherapy solutions, including portable incubators with integrated phototherapy, advanced monitoring capabilities, or units designed for critical care environments, can range from KES 350,000 and upwards, potentially exceeding KES 700,000. These premium options often come with extensive warranty periods and comprehensive after-sales support.

When considering your investment, it's crucial to factor in not just the initial purchase price but also ongoing costs such as maintenance, potential service agreements, and the lifespan of the unit.
