Abstract
Medical Screening is a basic test, which identifies rare and severe health problems. A newborn screening
program (NSP) can detect disorders before they become symptomatic. Early treatment of these endocrine
disorders can prevent intellectual disability and life-threatening crises. The hearing impairment will
precipitate neurodevelopmental delay, mainly language and related skills among infants. Newborn
screening for hearing loss can be done as a point-of-care screening. Universal screening for hearing loss
by otoacoustic emissions or automated auditory brainstem response has a high sensitivity allowing early
identification and intervention to improve the neurodevelopment among infants. Critical congenital heart
disease (CCHD) can result in death, organ failure, or severe disabilities. The screening via pulse oximeter,
perfusion index and echocardiography, prevent delayed diagnosis of CCHD. Developmental hip
dislocation is screened clinically by Ortolani and Barlow's manoeuvres that have been the standard for
detecting hip instability in newborns. Recently, ultrasound imaging of the hip in infants less than five
months suggested as a possible extra tool for screening. Early screening of treatable and detectable
diseases through newborn screening programs allows for timely intervention hence optimise outcomes.
