Abstract
Early detection and prevention of birth defects is necessary to further reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. A birth defect registry or
surveillance system is necessary to assess the exact magnitude, profile and modifiable risk factors for birth defects. We review the
existing efforts and suggest possible options for addressing this important issue. Connecting birth defects registry with the pre-existing
programs such as National Neonatal Perinatal Database could be one of the option.
