All the Neonates who were delivered at this hospital at OBGY department. All the neonates were examined and detail clinical histories was noted and were screened for the all congenital anomaly that can be detected clinically only was recorded. From this the incidence of congenital anomaly was calculated. Result: The incidence of congenital anomalies were 1.32% Incidence of congenital anomalies/1000 births was 13.2 %.The most common system affected was CNS 0-38.35% followed by GIT-28.76%; Musculo-Skeletal 15.06%; ENT -6.84%; GUT-6.84%; Opthalmology-4.10% and most common anomaly found was Meningomyelocele, Bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, Congenital Talipesequinovarus, Micro-otia, Hypospadiasis, Anopthalmos respectively in systems.
