Question
Our child was just born a few days ago, and it’s almost a week now. I heard from others that it’s best to get a newborn disease screening done after a week of birth. However, if we check the child’s health condition, any issues can be known and treated promptly. I’m looking for a good newborn disease screening center. Which newborn disease screening center is the best?
Answer
It is recommended to go to a regular newborn disease screening center for a thorough check-up. Nowadays, many primary hospitals collect blood samples from newborns within a week of birth and send them to designated hospitals for detailed examination. A contact card with the parent’s information is included. It is agreed that if you don’t receive a phone call from the hospital within one month, it means the baby’s detailed examination results are normal. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
