Newborn Screening
About
Newborn screening is a routine procedure used to test newborns for certain inherited metabolic and other disorders. These tests allow for the early detection of serious conditions that, if left untreated, can lead to permanent damage or death. The tests are conducted a few days after birth, usually involving a small blood sample taken from the baby's heel. In Croatia, newborn screening is routinely used to detect disorders such as phenylketonuria and congenital hypothyroidism.
The goal of screening is to ensure early intervention and treatment to prevent severe complications and enable normal child development. It is a safe and non-invasive procedure that can greatly improve the quality of life.
ZagrebMed patient reviews
I was in the Balkans and needed a clinic to vaccinate my baby. I found Zagreb to be very easy to communicate with considering I do not know the local language. The clinic had the same vaccinations I would get in Australia, which gave me peace of mind. The doctor was very thorough during the consultation, further assuring me that my baby is getting the best care. If you're a visitor from abroad I would definitely recommend this clinic as they are at western, modern standards.
