Abstract(s)
O Programa Nacional de Diagnóstico Precoce (PNDP) é um programa
universal de saúde pública que teve o seu começo em 1979 com o rastreio
da Fenilcetonúria e posteriormente, em 1981, com o do Hipotiroidismo Congénito.
Em 2008 passam a ser rastreadas sistematicamente a nível nacional
24 Doenças Hereditárias do Metabolismo, e em finais de 2013 foi iniciado
um estudo-piloto para o rastreio neonatal da Fibrose Quística. Entretanto,
este estudo foi finalizado o que levou à integração desta patologia no painel
nacional, que atualmente contempla 26 doenças. O PNDP é um programa
dinâmico, que se tem mantido atento às recomendações internacionais, a
inovações tecnológicas e terapêuticas e às possibilidades de melhoria dos
seus indicadores. Envolvendo profissionais de saúde das áreas laboratorial
e clínica, bem como decisores políticos e associações de doentes, o PNDP
mantém-se como um programa de referência a nível nacional e internacional.
