New Born Screening
|
$10,000
|
|
 New Born screening is a simple procedure to find out if your baby has a congenital metabolic disorder that may lead to mental retardation or even death if left untreated. Thousands of babies die for parents who give birth on government hospitals belong to class "C, D and E and can't afford this procedure. Most babies with metabolic disorders look "normal" at birth. By doing newborn screening, metabolic disorders may be detected even before clinical signs and symptoms are present. And as a result of this, treatment can be given to prevent consequences of untreated conditions. Newborn Screening is ideally done on the 48th - 72nd hour of life or done 24 hours from birth. Babies with positive results are referred at once to a specialist for confirmatory testing and further management. |
