When Yaminah and Simon Jones welcomed their two children into the world they were overjoyed. However, within a few days they were faced with the challenge of having a newborn with jaundice and needed to spend an extended period in the maternity ward at North Shore Hospital while treatment was provided, and their precious baby recovered.

Determined to pay it forward, Yaminah and Simon approached the hospital with a heartfelt mission: to support other families whose new-born’s develop jaundice. After consulting with medical professionals to find out what was needed, they made a generous donation to fund specialized equipment and innovative technology for treating jaundice including a new incubator, specialised blue lights, a biliSoft blanket and advanced diagnostic devices, called a bilirubinometer, to enable less invasive screening for jaundice.
