The
aim
of
our
study
was
to
assess
the
current
state
of
newborn
screening
(
NBS
)
in
the
region
of
southeastern
Europe
,
as
an
example
of
a
developing
region
,
focusing
also
on
future
plans
.
Responses
were
obtained
from
11
countries
.
Phenylketonuria
screening
was
not
introduced
in
four
of
11
countries
,
while
congenital
hypothyroidism
screening
was
not
introduced
in
three
of
them
;
extended
NBS
programs
were
non-existent
.
The
primary
challenges
were
identified
.
Implementation
of
NBS
to
developing
countries
worldwide

a
priority
.
