Newborn Screening is a good method to detect some fatal medical conditions that cannot be diagnosed during birth. These worrisome conditions can hamper the growth and development of your baby. The screening will help identify problems in the baby if any.By treating these conditions, damages like mental retardation, thyroid issues, autism, and sudden deaths can be tackled promptly with medical attention.
