International Neonatal Screening Day, 28 June 2025
Since 2021, International Neonatal Screening Day has been observed each year on the 28th of June, providing a unique chance to celebrate the vision of those who helped make this possible and encouraging a new generation of doctors, scientists, and policymakers to extend these benefits to more children suffering from a wider range of disorders. On this occasion, we have selected ten papers on neonatal screening published in the International Journal of Neonatal Screening (IJNS, ISSN: 2409-515X) since 2024 that showcase the latest advances and insights in this field. The journal is owned by the International Society for Neonatal Screening (ISNS).
