Understanding Newborn Jaundice & The Need for Phototherapy
Newborn jaundice occurs when there is an excess of bilirubin in a baby's blood, causing a yellow tint to the skin and eyes. While mild jaundice is common, high bilirubin levels can be dangerous if left untreated, potentially affecting the nervous system. At Muskaan Hospital & Maternity Centre, located in Mange Ram Park, Budh Vihar, our advanced phototherapy units use specialized light spectrums to safely break down bilirubin through the baby's skin, transforming it into a form that the body can easily eliminate. Parents in North West Delhi can rely on our dedicated pediatric wing for precise bilirubin level testing and rapid intervention.
Expert Paediatric & NICU Infrastructure
Timely intervention is critical when managing neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Under the clinical guidance of Dr. Randhir Singh (Child Specialist & Medical Director) and our skilled team of intensivists like Dr. Arvinder Singh, our 24x7 NICU infrastructure ensures constant monitoring of your baby's vital signs, hydration, and bilirubin levels throughout the phototherapy sessions. Families from nearby localities like Rohini and Sultanpuri benefit from our immediate emergency response and round-the-clock specialized pediatric care.
