ABSTRACT
@#Saving babies from mental retardation and death is the aim of the newborn screening program. A complex process of sample collection, processing and feedback is undertaken before reaching this goal. As with other systems, the newborn screening program is not perfect and periodic review is needed to continually improve services. Using maple syrup urine disease (which is the most common inborn error of metabolism detected through newborn screening) as an index case, this paper aims to present the gaps in diagnosis and management by citing cases and providing a commentary.
