ABSTRACT
NBS reduces the diagnostic odyssey, oen very distressing for parents, and can provide family with the option of making informed reproductive decisions (highlighted by the reduction in CF prevalence in regions with NBS program). However, there has been a call from public health professionals for evidence of clinical benet from NBS before supporting programs across the globe. ese discussions are still ongoing in many countries despite a more robust evidence base. Providing this evidence base has proved challenging, as outlined here.
