    Newborn screening involves testing every newborn for harmful or potentially fatal disorders through a simple blood test. The screening tests for congenital and heritable disorders that could cause severe issues if not treated early, such as intellectual disabilities, illness, or death. However, if treated, infants may live normal lives. The screening process involves pricking the baby's heel to collect a blood sample, which is placed on a special card and sent to a screening center where tests are performed. Abnormal results are reported quickly for case management, while normal results are sent to the submitter when all tests are finalized. The overall goal is to identify disorders that require early treatment and intervention to prevent long-term health problems in children.
