Hemoglobin observations newborn screening panel

This newborn screening panel measures hemoglobin types and levels from a blood spot collected from heel pricks. It detects sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other hemoglobinopathies that affect oxygen-carrying capacity. Early detection allows immediate treatment to prevent serious complications like pain crises, organ damage, and stroke. This screening is performed on all newborns in most countries and is critical for infant health outcomes.
