1 Beyond the case for NBS in South Africa Chris Vorster 28/05/2016

2 The case for NBS in SA Economic justification Cost Utility analysis = Cost/QALY GDP/Capita Immediate implementation (WHO) Political justification Genetic and congenital conditions become important once the Infant Mortality Rate < 50/1000 Human rights SA constitution Ch 2 Section 28(c) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Art 24(1) & 24(2) Laboratory and Clinical capability Medical Aids and Public Health Expected clinical experience

3 Why beyond the case for NBS in SA 400 Screens per month Reimbursed by Discovery Health LIMS implementation and interfacing Aggressive marketing by Next Biosciences First advisory panel meeting Publication in the SAMJ to follow Personal feedback from paediatricians

4 Next Biosciences initiative Role of Next in NBS Permission from practising paediatricians Market the service to expecting parents Arrange for collection in collaboration with Ampath Manage all correspondence and recollections Only involve paediatrician when required Initiatives (since mid February) 127 paediatricians 379 Gynaecologists 53 antenatal classes
