Abstract
An objective, sensitive, sophisticated and inexpensive method of estimating thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) has been applied for the neonatal hypothyroid screening programme in India. The cord blood samples were collected at the time of delivery on a No 3 Whatman filter paper strip, and despatched to the central laboratory, in a specially designed pre-paid envelope. The samples were sent by the auxillary nurse midwives and traditional birth attendants, in the framework of existing infrastructure of primary health centres of our country, who also participated in the treatment of detected hypothyroid children.
