7. Biotinidase Deficiency
8. Homocystinuria
9. Citrullinemia
10. Isovaleric Acidemia
11. Methylmalonic Acidemia
12. Propionic Acidemia
13. Multiple Carboxylase Deficiency
14. Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCAD)
15. Long Chain 3-Hydroxy Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (LCHAD)
16. Very Long Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (VLCAD)
17. Glutaric Acidemia Type I
18. 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA Carboxylase Deficiency
19. Beta-Ketothiolase Deficiency
20. Carnitine Uptake Defect
21. Argininosuccinic Aciduria

26. Pompe Disease
27. Gaucher Disease
28. Fabry Disease
29. Hemoglobinopathies (e.g., Sickle Cell Disease, Alpha & Beta Thalassemia)

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Let’s give our children the best start in life. If you or someone you know is expecting, encourage them to get their baby screened within 24 to 72 hours after birth.

With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to one of the strongest champions in the fight against schistosomiasis—our beloved medical technologist, mentor, and friend.

She was more than a colleague—she was a guiding light in Barangay Taytayan and the whole of Cateel's journey toward eliminating parasitic diseases. With a heart full of compassion and a life dedicated to public health, she inspired many young medical technologists to serve with purpose and integrity.

Your legacy will live on in every step we take towards a schisto-free Cateel.

Rest well, Ma'am Kix, Department of Health Region XI Medical Technologist.
