The Neonatal Hemoglobinopathy Profile Test is a specialised newborn screening that identifies abnormal forms of haemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells).

Early detection allows timely medical planning and family counselling. At healthcare nt sickcare, this test is available in Pune through Home Collection Facility or Direct Walk-in Facility.
Why is this test important for newborns?
Direct answer: It helps detect serious inherited blood conditions before symptoms appear.
Many haemoglobin disorders show no signs at birth but can cause anaemia, growth delay, or infections later in infancy. Newborn screening ensures early diagnosis so paediatric care can begin promptly. This profile uses advanced laboratory techniques to separate and measure different haemoglobin types for accurate identification. Parents in Pune, Maharashtra benefit from early clarity and preventive guidance.
