The donation will be used by the Neonatal Unit at Milton Keynes Hospital.
Milton Keynes Hospital Charity announced on March 4th that they received a £20,000 grant for the Neonatal Unit following a successful trust application to Morrisons.
The donation will be used by the Neonatal Unit at Milton Keynes Hospital to help treat babies with Jaundice.
Jaundice is a common condition that affects around 80% of babies born prematurely.
It is caused by the build-up of bilirubin in the blood, a yellow substance produced when red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body, are broken down.
Last year 119 babies on the Neonatal Unit at Milton Keynes Hospital required treatment for Jaundice.
BiliSoft LED Phototherapy blankets enable babies with jaundice to be wrapped in, and continue receiving treatment in the least disruptive way. The blankets allow parents to feed, hold and snuggle their new-borns, which helps parents and can increase the rate of recovery of the baby.
The blankets are being funded by the Morrisons Foundation who kindly donated £20,000 this year to pay for the new equipment.
