Patient's question:
Consultation Description: Our child was just born a few weeks ago and is almost a week old. I heard from others that it's best to have a newborn screening test about a week after birth to check the child's health status. If there are any issues, it can be detected and treated promptly. I want to find a good newborn screening center. Which newborn screening center is the best?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have a thorough examination at a formal newborn disease screening center. Currently, many grassroots hospitals collect peripheral blood samples from newborns one week after birth and send them to designated hospitals for examination. The card will include the parents' contact information, and it is agreed that if no call from the hospital is received within one month, it proves that the baby's examination results are normal. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
