๐Alberta announces the expansion of its newborn screening program, now testing for 26 medical conditions, up from 22, ensuring better health outcomes for newborns in the province. Premier Danielle Smith emphasized the importance of providing quick answers and certainty to new parents regarding their baby's health. The Alberta Newborn Screening Program, which already achieved a 99% screening rate in the 2022-23 fiscal year, aims to become one of the most comprehensive programs in the country. Additionally, support is provided for women's health research through the Alberta Womenโs Health Foundation Legacy grant. This funding will aid research on cervical cancer, heart disease, and other common womenโs health conditions. Resources will also be allocated to the Calgary Health Foundation for a rapid access clinic and pelvic floor health projects. Dr. Erin Brennand, from Calgary's Cumming School of Medicine, applauds the investment as a crucial step in addressing historical gaps in women's healthcare, emphasizing the need for more attention and funding in this area.โ . ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐- ๐๐ญ ๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ! ๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ +๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฆ.๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ฆ@๐๐ข๐๐.๐๐จ๐ฆ @jom_mattam . . #AlbertaHealthcare #NewbornScreening #WomensHealthResearch #AlbertaWomen #HealthcareInnovation #PremierDanielleSmith #HealthcareFunding #ChildHealth #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
