Protect Your Newborn’s Future with Comprehensive Screening
As new parents in South Africa, you want nothing more than to ensure your baby has the healthiest start possible. Our Newborn Screening Panel 7 Test provides the peace of mind every parent deserves by detecting 7 critical conditions that could impact your baby’s development and long-term wellbeing. Early detection means early intervention, giving your child the best chance for a healthy, thriving future.
Understanding Your Baby’s Health Screening
This comprehensive panel uses just a few drops of blood from your baby’s heel to screen for conditions that, if left undetected, could lead to serious health complications. Our advanced fluoroimmunoassay technology ensures highly accurate results, testing for:
- G6PD Deficiency: A common enzyme deficiency that can cause anaemia
- Thyroid Function (TSH): Crucial for brain development and growth
- Phenylketonuria (Phenylalanine): A metabolic disorder affecting protein processing
- Cystic Fibrosis: A genetic condition affecting lungs and digestion
- Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (17-Hydroxyprogesterone): Hormonal disorder
- Galactosemia: Inability to process galactose sugar
- Biotinidase Deficiency: Affects vitamin B7 metabolism
Every South African Newborn Deserves This Protection
This screening is recommended for all newborns within the first few days of life. While many babies appear perfectly healthy at birth, these conditions often show no immediate symptoms. Early detection through our panel can prevent:
- Developmental delays and learning difficulties
- Growth problems and failure to thrive
- Serious metabolic crises
- Lifelong health complications
- Emergency hospitalisations
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear – proactive screening gives your baby the protection they deserve.
