Newborn screening is used for the early detection of diseases in newborns and enables rapid intervention to prevent serious consequences, including infant death. Since the Genetic Diagnostics Act came into force in 2010, the rules of the Act have applied to newborn screening. Over the years since the Act came into force, some legal issues have been resolved, but new legal aspects have also arisen for which the Act does not yet provide a solution.
新生儿筛查用于早期发现新生儿疾病,并能进行快速干预以防止严重后果,包括婴儿死亡。自2010年《基因诊断法》生效以来,该法的规定已适用于新生儿筛查。自该法生效多年来,一些法律问题已得到解决,但也出现了一些新的法律问题,而该法尚未提供解决方案。
