Description
Aminu S Abdullahi and coauthors survey in 2026 health professionals in Abu Dhabi about expanding genomic screening of newborns. Testing a baby's genome could catch genetic disease early enough to change its course. Whether frontline staff feel ready for that expansion decides how safely it can roll out.
About forty-six percent of surveyed professionals reported good knowledge of genomic newborn screening, with experience in the field predicting stronger knowledge. The cross-sectional survey covered public and private facilities and probed attitudes and practical challenges as well. The authors identify training and support gaps that planners must close before wider screening begins.
