Question
With not-so-great economic conditions, the nurse informed me that newborn disease screening is recommended, with the cost nearing a thousand yuan. This involves taking three drops of the baby’s blood to check for the possibility of 48 diseases.
Answer
Strictly speaking, it’s still advisable to do it, as it offers some peace of mind. If the economic situation isn’t great, I suggest discussing this with the attending physician, allowing them to select a few tests based on the baby’s condition to see if that’s possible.
