Our global impact
If it works in the jungle, it works anywhere.
Neonatal jaundice is easy to treat — when phototherapy is within reach. In many parts of the world, power, distance and infrastructure stand in the way. bili-hut™ was designed to go where conventional equipment can’t.
“Neonatal jaundice is a persistent nemesis in the developing world.”
The challenge
Phototherapy shouldn’t depend on where a baby is born.
Conventional phototherapy units are heavy, need reliable mains power and often an incubator or warmer to keep the baby warm. In remote clinics, that equipment is scarce — and families may be hours away from the nearest neonatal unit.
bili-hut™ brings effective, high-intensity phototherapy to those settings: light, portable and able to run from solar or battery power.
Built for the hardest settings

Off the grid
Powered by the sun, when there’s no other option.
bili-hut™ runs on very little power. In remote health posts — like those in Papua New Guinea — a small solar setup is enough to keep phototherapy running, day and night with battery back-up.
