📢 September is Newborn Screening Awareness Month!

Newborn screening is a vital public health program that can save lives and improve the quality of life for countless children worldwide. 👶🌍

The concept of newborn screening was pioneered by Dr. Robert Guthrie, often called the “Father of Newborn Screening”, who developed the first reliable test for phenylketonuria (PKU) in the 1960s. His work laid the foundation for modern newborn screening programs. 🧬

In Europe, newborn screening programs were introduced in the 1960s and 1970s, gradually expanding to cover a wider range of metabolic and genetic disorders. Today, newborns are routinely tested for PKU, congenital hypothyroidism, cystic fibrosis, and many other serious conditions.

✅ Phenylketonuria (PKU) Screening:
PKU is a genetic disorder that, if untreated, can lead to severe intellectual disability. Early detection through newborn screening allows for immediate dietary intervention, preventing the devastating effects of the disease.

‼️It is crucial that newborn screening programs continue to expand worldwide, ensuring that every child, regardless of where they are born, has the opportunity to grow up healthy and thrive.

By increasing awareness and supporting newborn screening initiatives, we can help more countries adopt and expand these life-saving tests, testing for an ever-growing number of conditions and giving every newborn the best start in life.
