NEONAT is an information system used to manage neonatal screening in France and its overseas territories and departments.


Each year, NEONAT manages the data resulting from the approximately 800,000 neonatal screenings (Guthrie test). The screening includes testing for phenylketonuria, congenital hyperthyroidism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, sickle-cell anaemia, and cystic fibrosis. The national neonatal screening program is managed by the French Association for Screening and Prevention of Handicaps for Children (AFDPHE) under the authority of the Minister of Health and the National health system which finances it in totality.
