GYY Maternity Home offers treatment for neonates

MAITUM, Sarangani (July 18, 2013) - Baby Julianne Marie Balazon, a neonate, undergoes photo therapy because of physiologic jaundice. This treatment is available at the George Y. Yabes Maternity Home. Ten neonates have been treated of physiological jaundice with the arrival of the machine two years ago. The photo therapy machine is used to treat the condition in which a person's skin and the whites of the eyes are discolored due to increased level of vile pigments in the blood resulting from liver disease. GYY Maternity Home is the first maternity home in Sarangani to acquire this kind of machine. The machine was donated thru the effort of Rep. Carol Lopez of YACAP Partylist. The multi-awarded Mayor Yabes was assassinated November 11, 2006 with the perpetrators and mastermind still unknown.  For more news and updates, please visit the <a href= http://www.sarangani.gov.ph/ > Province of Sarangani </a>.
