#publichealthlab fact of the day: Newborn screening panels now test for up to 50+ conditions, from metabolic disorders to hearing loss to critical heart defects. What started in the 1960s with one condition (PKU) has grown into one of the most impactful public health programs ever created.
The 14th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of #Tuberculosis was a reminder of the dedicated professionals working behind the scenes to detect, diagnose, and respond to TB across the country. APHL is proud to be a part of this community!
