Miguel NewBorn Screening Result

Thanks God!

Atlast I got the result of Miguel New Born Screening.

In 2004 under Republic Act No. 9288 or or the Newborn Screening Act of 2004, was enacted.

This establishes a national comprehensive newborn screening system to ensure an integrative and sustainable implementation of the government's policy to protect and promote the right to health of the people, including the rights of children to survival and full and healthy development as normal individuals.
The law also mandates the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the University of the Philippines Manila to create the Newborn Screening Reference Center (NSRC), a central facility that provides technical assistance to the DOH and NIH netwrok in reaching the ultimate goal of screening Filipino newborns for common life-threatening congenital metabolic disorders.
In October 2006, the Western State University Medical Center in Iloilo became the second newborn screening center in the country to conduct testing of blood samples from the entire Visayas and Mindanao area.
There is now a growing awareness on newborn screening and its benefits, but coverage of screened newborns remained low and wanting. The DOH is still hoping that every parent informed, every newborn screened, every health facility equipped and with health practitioner trained to provide newborn screening service. http://health.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Newborn_screening
