Kazakhstan Neonatal Screening Program

The Kazakhstan Neonatal Screening Program is a health initiative that tests newborns for various serious genetic and metabolic disorders shortly after birth. By analyzing a small blood sample, healthcare providers can identify conditions that may not show immediate symptoms but could lead to severe health issues if untreated. Early detection allows for timely interventions, which can significantly improve health outcomes and quality of life for affected infants. This program aims to reduce infant mortality and long-term disabilities, ensuring that all newborns in Kazakhstan receive the best possible start in life.
