Abstract

Because it is clearly in the best interests of children with cystic fibrosis to be diagnosed early at < 2 months, which can only be achieved routinely by newborn screening, it can be argued that this should be a human right. However, if more harm than good is likely, or if regional “readiness” does not exist, newborn screening should be deferred.
