Phototherapy Units in Tanzania
Available Phototherapy Units Models

Phototherapy units are specialized medical devices designed to deliver controlled light treatment, primarily for the management of neonatal jaundice. Also known as 'bili lights' or 'infant phototherapy systems,' these units utilize specific wavelengths of light, typically in the blue spectrum (around 460-490 nm), to convert bilirubin – the substance responsible for jaundice – into a water-soluble form that can be more easily excreted by the infant's body. This non-invasive treatment is a cornerstone in preventing severe hyperbilirubinemia and its associated complications in newborns throughout Tanzania and globally.

The core function of a phototherapy unit is to facilitate the breakdown of unconjugated bilirubin in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. When exposed to the correct light spectrum, bilirubin undergoes photo-oxidation, transforming into lumirubin and other isomers that are less toxic and more readily eliminated through urine and bile. This process helps to lower bilirubin levels in the bloodstream, thereby reducing the risk of kernicterus, a serious form of brain damage caused by excessive bilirubin.

Access to effective phototherapy is crucial for treating neonatal jaundice, a common and potentially serious condition. In Tanzania, a range of healthcare facilities, from large tertiary centers to smaller rural clinics, can benefit significantly from well-maintained and readily available phototherapy units. Ensuring these units are present and functional is vital for newborn health across the country.

The cost of phototherapy units in Tanzania can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of unit, its features, brand, and the supplier. For basic, portable phototherapy units designed for home use or small clinics, you might find prices starting from approximately TZS 1,500,000. These often come with essential features like adjustable intensity and a timer.

For more advanced, standalone units, commonly found in hospitals and larger healthcare facilities, the investment can range from TZS 5,000,000 to TZS 15,000,000 and potentially higher. These units typically offer more sophisticated control systems, better light spectrum options (like LED or specialized fluorescent lamps), and enhanced safety features. The choice between a ceiling-mounted unit, a mobile trolley, or a compact bassinet integration will also influence the final price. It's always advisable to obtain quotes from multiple reputable medical equipment suppliers in Tanzania to compare options and find the best value for your specific needs.
