Phototherapy Units in Uganda
Available Phototherapy Units Models

A phototherapy unit is a specialized medical device designed to treat neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, commonly known as jaundice in newborns. At its core, it utilizes controlled light wavelengths, typically in the blue spectrum, to facilitate the breakdown of bilirubin in the infant's bloodstream. Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. In newborns, the liver may not yet be fully mature in processing this pigment, leading to elevated levels that can cause jaundice. If left untreated, severe hyperbilirubinemia can result in serious long-term health complications.

The primary function of a phototherapy unit is to convert excess bilirubin into less toxic, water-soluble byproducts that the infant's body can more easily excrete. This process, known as photo-oxidation, occurs when the light energy is absorbed by the bilirubin molecules in the skin and superficial blood vessels, transforming them into lumirubin and other isomers. These transformed compounds are then cleared more efficiently by the infant's kidneys and bile. The units are designed to deliver this therapeutic light safely and effectively, ensuring optimal dosage and coverage while minimizing any potential adverse effects.

The need for reliable and effective phototherapy units in Uganda spans a range of healthcare facilities, from specialized tertiary care centers to essential community-level clinics. These units are critical for the management of neonatal jaundice, a common and potentially serious condition. Investing in phototherapy equipment is a vital step for any facility committed to improving neonatal health outcomes across the country.

The cost of phototherapy units in Uganda can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of unit, its features, brand, and the supplier. Generally, you can expect to find a range of options to suit different budgetary needs and clinical requirements.

For basic, standalone phototherapy units, often used in smaller clinics or for home care under professional guidance, prices might start in the range of UGX 3,000,000 to UGX 7,000,000. These units typically offer essential functionality for treating neonatal jaundice.

More advanced and versatile phototherapy systems, such as those with integrated irradiance meters, adjustable intensity settings, and enhanced patient comfort features, or even transportable units, will command higher prices. These can typically range from UGX 8,000,000 to UGX 20,000,000 or more. Hospitals and larger healthcare facilities requiring robust, high-performance equipment may opt for these more sophisticated models.
