Depending on the model, tare and hold functions can make weighing easier when babies are wearing clothing or moving during measurement. Health centres should consider measurement capacity, readability, tray construction, ease of cleaning, battery life and portability when purchasing.
A compact unit can also be useful for outreach services where equipment needs to be transported between locations. Ask for baby weighing scale prices in Kampala, discuss your health-centre requirements with a supplier and order a suitable unit for your facility or outreach program.
