Es el Mes de Concientización del Cribado Neonatal y estamos celebrando la prueba sencilla que permite salvar miles de vidas cada año.

Se trata de un pinchazo en el talón para detectar más de 30 afecciones de salud graves, pero tratables. El cribado es una gran oportunidad para que los bebés tengan un comienzo saludable, ya que permite detectar problemas antes de que aparezcan los síntomas.
