Article Synopsis
- Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a health issue that affects newborns, and while it can't be prevented, its effects can be managed with early treatment.
- In a study done in Karachi, Pakistan, researchers wanted to see how much mothers knew about CH and if educating them would help them decide to get their babies screened.
- After teaching mothers about CH, their awareness jumped from 20% to nearly 98%, and more agreed to have their newborn screened, showing that education really helps!
