Aims and Objectives: To study the incidence of congenital anomalies in neonates born at tertiary health care center. Materials and Methods: All the live born and still born babies born in the GMC Latur were observed meticulously to diagnose congenital anomalies.

Results: The incidence of congenital anomalies was found to be 43.03 per 1000. The incidence was more in stillbirths (104 per 1000) as compared to live births (40.36 per 1000). The most common system involved was Central nervous system (14.96 per 1000) followed by musculoskeletal system (10.39 per 1000) and gastrointestinal system (5.34 per 1000).
