Ludhiana, Oct 1, 2025: Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain handed over state-of-the-art Transcutaneous Bilirubin (TcB) Meters to eight government hospitals in district, significantly enhancing neonatal care on Wednesday.
The Sub-Divisional Hospitals (SDHs) in Samrala, Raikot, Jagraon, and Khanna, along with Community Health Centres (CHCs) in Sudhar and Sahnewal, and Urban Community Health Centres (UCHCs) in Vardhman and Jawaddi, will now use these advanced devices to screen newborns for jaundice. The TcB Meter offers a non-invasive, pain-free method to measure bilirubin levels, enabling faster diagnosis and reducing discomfort for infants.
Deputy Commissioner Jain expressed gratitude to IDBI Bank for sponsoring the initiative, highlighting the transformative impact of the equipment. "These TcB Meters are a game-changer for newborn care, ensuring accurate, pain-free screenings and timely interventions," he said.
Civil Surgeon Dr. Ramandeep Kaur emphasized that the devices will elevate childcare standards across sub-divisional and other government hospitals in the district. "This technology will improve outcomes for newborns and support families by minimizing invasive procedures," she added, thanking IDBI for their support.
IDBI Regional Head Sunil Munjal, along with Nitin Tomar, Amanpreet Kaur, Nancy Aggarwal, and other dignitaries were also present.
