Combating Infant Morbidity and Mortality: Local Manufacturing of the Jaundice Kit in Ghana

The project aims to establish a sustainable system to promote proper, timely and accurate Jaundice treatment in Africa. We intend to increase availability and affordability of appropriate medical devices and their service through setting up a local manufacturing and maintenance unit in Ghana. In order assure the successful implementation we plan to pilot the locally produced Jaundice Kit in 20 urban and rural hospitals in West Africa, to gather evidence for further scaling up.
