The Government of the Russian Federation allocated 346.3 million rubles for the purchase of equipment for neonatal screening of newborns
On August 1, 2024, Prime Minister RFMikhail Mishustin signed an order on the purchase of equipment for expanded neonatal screening of newborns. For these purposes, an additional 346.3 million rubles are allocated from the federal budget.
Equipment is necessary to examine children for congenital and/or hereditary diseases. Such studies help to identify severe diseases at the initial stage, to provide assistance to children faster, and in some cases to save lives.
The project provides for the purchase of seven tandem mass spectrometers complete with a nitrogen generator and neonatal screening software. In addition, eight automatic stations for excavating PCR mixtures will be purchased. A complex for ultrasonic fragmentation of DNA is also purchased.
The purchase of equipment will be carried out by the Federal Center for Planning and Organizing Drug Provision for Citizens, subordinate to the Ministry of Health. It will go to federal and regional medical organizations.
Among the recipients of the systems are named: Federal State Autonomous Institution "National Medical Research Center for Children's Health," "Rostov State Medical University," "Medical and Genetic Scientific Center named after Academician N.P. Bochkov," "Tomsk National Research Medical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences," "Scientific Center for Family Health and Human Reproduction" in, Irkutsk"Morozovskaya Children's City Clinical Hospital health care of the City Department," Moscow"Research Institute - Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1 named after Professor S.V.

2023: IT system keeps records of newborns in Krasnoyarsk and monitors neonatal screening
On August 16, 2023, TechLAB announced that a centralized regional information system has been introduced in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which allows monitoring compliance with the deadlines for each stage of neonatal screening.
