Scotland begins newborn SMA screening in March 2026, using routine blood tests to enable early treatment and prevent disability.
Scotland has launched a newborn screening program for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), becoming the first UK region to do so.
Starting in March 2026, all newborns are tested using the existing day-four blood spot test to detect SMA before symptoms appear, enabling early treatment that can prevent severe disability.
Funded by the Scottish Government and Novartis, the two-year pilot aims to improve long-term outcomes, with parents and medical experts calling it a life-changing step.
The initiative follows years of advocacy and could serve as a model for the rest of the UK.
