Newborn Screening is a specialized clinical service provided by board-certified Gynecologists and Obstetricians (MS, DGO, DNB) in Chennai. Newborn screening provides essential clinical and biochemical testing performed immediately following childbirth to detect treatable congenital conditions early.

At NectarPlus Health, accredited hospitals and women's health clinics in Chennai provide cutting-edge diagnostic infrastructure, minimally invasive surgical theaters, and compassionate consultation suites. Experienced specialists follow international protocols established by FOGSI and ACOG, ensuring individualized evaluations, clear communication, patient confidentiality, and empathetic care.
