Trying to foresee their child’s future is a dream for many parents, so checking the horoscope is a common habit. However, many do not know that they can predict their children’s future with a test that prevents and assists in treating potential diseases – the heel prick test.

Unisert – the National Union of Accredited Neonatal Screening Reference Services – is a non-profit organisation that brings together 13 Brazilian Neonatal Screening Reference Services (SRTNs), accredited by the Ministry of Health to carry out the National Neonatal Screening Programme, popularly known as the Heel Prick Test.
