Abstract
Newborn screening (NBS) is a public health program designed and developed to screen infants shortly after birth. The principle of NBS Program is to detect potentially harmful disorders that are not clinically evident at birth. Newborn screening is a success story in USA and European countries despite different approaches to timing ofscreening, followup testing and intervention. In India, the concept of NBS is in the nascent stages. Screening and surveillance should go hand in hand. Newborn screening model should comprise screening, followup, diagnosis, management, and education. For this review, PubMed & Google Scholar were searched for review articles. Of these, those related to Indian scenario were reviewed & appropriately used to prepare a final review.
