Jaundice Treatment (Phototherapy)
Overview
A safe, comfortable treatment for newborn jaundice using soft blue light that helps the baby's body process bilirubin. Our partner hospitals deliver jaundice treatment (phototherapy) using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. NICU care in Australia is largely public-funded but with regional access challenges. Self-funded NICU approaches AUD 4,000 per day privately. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same jaundice treatment (phototherapy) is available from $80 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
