Description

Each year, a small number of Alberta babies are born with treatable conditions that can lead to severe physical disabilities, developmental delay, other health problems or even death. The purpose of the Newborn Metabolic Screening Program is to identify and treat infants for these conditions before the onset of symptoms. (Please note that the name of the program was changed to the Alberta Newborn Screening Program in December 2021.) Newborn screening is time-sensitive. Babies affected with some of the screened conditions will start to become ill and may suffer irreversible damage soon after birth. Early effective treatment can better manage these conditions and decrease morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this document is to set out the program’s policies, and to describe the roles and responsibilities of the various parties in implementing the program.
