    PANAJI: Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said that his department has issued a new tender for newborn screening in government hospitals.
    “I am thrilled to announce an exciting initiative by the state’s health department. We have issued a tender for newborn screening in government hospitals. This screening will identify conditions that could potentially harm your baby’s growth through neonatal screening,” said Rane.
    He further said that in his mission to create a healthier state, preventive measures are essential. This screening encompasses the detection of 5 diseases and 46 disorders and will be performed within 72 hours of birth.
    “Our goal is to ensure that every individual in Goa receives the best healthcare treatment, from birth to adulthood. Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly contribute to your baby’s growth and overall well-being,” he added.
    The newborns are to be screened for 51 different types of disorders through Biochemical tests and Tandem Mass Spectrometry. The tender is valued at Rs one crore. The project will be awarded for a period of 3 years extendable by 2 years. Goa was the first state to start newborn screening in 2008.
    The minister said the goal of the government is to ensure that every individual in Goa receives the best healthcare treatment, from birth to adulthood.
    “Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly contribute to your baby’s growth and overall well-being,” he added.
