The coverage rate for screening in newborn varies across the 20 countries of Latin America. 100% coverage is observed in Chile, Cuba, and Uruguay, and countries such as El Salvador, Haiti, and Honduras have negligible coverage. Congenital hypothyroidism testing is mandated in ten countries, whereas phenylketonuria testing is compulsory only in Costa Rica, Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela, Guatemala, and Chile.

However, parents can demand for additional testing depending on the need. Recently, emphasis on cystic fibrosis and hearing screen has gained momentum across the region. In 2012, World Solutions Against Infectious Diseases (WSAID) announced partnership with Save Babies Through Screening Foundation (SBTS) and work for expansion of the screening program with the region.
