3 April 2026, Friday

Last year, 4,415 "heel tests" were conducted at the Kama Children's Medical Center Perinatal Center.

This important medical examination makes it possible to identify hereditary and congenital diseases in newborns at the earliest stages, which makes it possible to start treatment in a timely manner and prevent the development of severe complications.

Thus, neonatal screening is an effective early diagnostic tool that helps maintain the health and quality of life of babies.

From March 31 to April 5, Mother and Child Health Week is taking place in Russia, dedicated to prevention, early diagnosis and support for the health of women and newborns.
