Global Newborn Screening market is Witnessing an Admirable Growth due to the Medical Advancements

Newborn screening is a practice of screening infants soon after birth for certain harmful and potentially fatal diseases that are not apparent at birth. Majority of newborn screening tests are performed by evaluating metabolites and enzyme activity in blood samples that are collected on specified filter paper.

Metabolic and other inherited disorders can hamper an infant's normal mental and physical development in a number of ways. By carrying out a blood test, doctors can inform whether newborns have certain conditions that could lead to disease or impairment in future to their health. Infants who are screened positive undergo additional testing to confirm if they are truly affected with a disease. Follow-up testing is then carried out by geneticists and pediatrician.

In Many regions healthcare professionals have started to screen infants for hearing loss and congenital heart defects . Screening programs are mainly run by national or state governing bodies with the goal to screen all infants born in the jurisdiction. The number of diseases to be screened is decided by each jurisdiction, and can differ greatly. Newborn screening was initiated in the U.S. as a public health program.
