Neonatal and Congenital Anomalies
Neonatal and congenital anomalies refer to health issues that are present at birth. "Neonatal" pertains to the first 28 days of a newborn's life, focusing on conditions that affect infants during this early period. "Congenital anomalies," also known as birth defects, are physical or functional differences in a baby that occur while they are still developing in the womb. These can affect various parts of the body, like the heart, brain, and limbs, and may impact health, growth, and development. Early detection and intervention can significantly improve outcomes for affected infants.
