Neonatal Jaundice Management
Although there is still much we can do to improve the management of jaundice in High Income Countries, kernicterus, in this area is now very hard to come across.
Technological advancement and economic stability make it easier to follow newborns in their first weeks of life. Even though the procedure should be improved.
In countries of the South of the world that are part of Low-Middle Income Countries, jaundice is a very difficult problem to tackle.
Structural and economic barriers make the situation far more worrying. In these areas, timely intervention, affordability and portability are crucial.


Affected Areas
In Africa, Southeast Asia and South America, there are many obstacles to achieve proper neonatal care management, including limited availability of diagnosis and care equipment.

Getting Back
In order to improve the situation in Low-Middle Income Countries it was important to create a strategy that worked on different levels, to combine our portable diagnosis device with educational programmes.

Partnership
We have found a solution to prevent kernicterus. Now the only thing missing is implementing it all over the world. We are working towards building a strong network to make it happen.
