At Janani Women and Children Hospital, we provide specialized **phototherapy services** for neonates (newborns) suffering from jaundice. Jaundice is a common condition in newborns, where the skin and eyes turn yellow due to high bilirubin levels in the blood. Our state-of-the-art phototherapy treatment helps reduce bilirubin levels safely and effectively.
Our neonatologists use advanced phototherapy machines, ensuring that your baby receives the best care in a comfortable and child-friendly environment. Phototherapy involves exposing your baby’s skin to a special type of light, which helps the body break down and eliminate the excess bilirubin.
