Question
My friend’s child was born 5 days ago, and I’m not sure if it’s still possible to undergo newborn disease screening. The book says 3.7 days, but the hospital says 3.20 days. How long does it usually take, about 2 hours? What is the price at county-level hospitals?
Answer
The time for newborn screening is generally between 3 to 20 days, and it does not need to be confirmed strictly. The price is mostly between 200 to 300 yuan. The cost is closely related to the project. This includes thyroid function tests, in addition to the 26-item newborn disease checks. The time required for the test is not too long, but it’s not guaranteed that it can be completed in 2 hours. The results may take a considerable amount of time to come out.
