newborn screening is done in babies to detect for any birth defects.. its better to take preventive measures than to regret later, because babies who have any birth defects and the babies who do not have look same at birth, it is only when the symptoms appears one can come to know about the disease but that sometimes may be too late for the treatment and that often leads to death of infants, which can be avoided if newborn screening is done at the time of birth.
