Since 2021, International Neonatal Screening Day has been observed each year on 28 June, providing a unique chance to celebrate the vision of those who helped make this possible and encouraging a new generation of doctors, scientists, and policy makers to extend these benefits to more children suffering from a wider range of disorders.

On this occasion, we have selected ten papers on neonatal screening published in the International Journal of Neonatal Screening (IJNS, ISSN: 2409-515X) since 2023 that showcase the latest advances and insights in this field. We hope that you enjoy reading them.
