Industrial Management Purpose: Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program (UNHS) has developed rapidly and tremendously in the world, but developing countries need contextual models for UNHS to optimize screening outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, this study aims to document current UNHS practices in three developing countries; Malaysia, Philippines and China with the aim of comparing the reported practices to bring about some recommendations. Design/methodology/approach: This work is theorized on comprehensive review of reports, published research, and other relevant materials. Findings: UHNS practices in the selected countries (Philippine, Malaysia, and China) have commonalities and differences.Newborn hearing screening is made binding on all caregivers in Philippine, whereas it is just recommended in Malaysia and China. Nevertheless, the protocols of UNHS program applied in the selected countries are similar.In the selected countries, the protocol involves OAE and AABR.Research limitations/implications: UNHS has been well instituted in the selected countries. Nevertheless, certain challenges (e.g. poor follow-up) are debilitating the effectiveness of the screening in the selected countries, and the challenges should be well addressed and empirically studied. Practical implications: Stakeholders could possibly benefit from the findings, and recognize the need to optimize the UNHS program through suggested factors.This study has hopefully contributed towards the enrichment of the relevant literature, and it could serve as a useful guide for stakeholders with regards to improvement of UNHS program in their respective countries. 2017-07-11 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://repo.uum.edu.my/24849/1/2nd%20IRC%202017%2086.pdf Abdul Majid, Abdul Halim and Zakaria, Mohd Normani and Abdullah, Nor Azimah Chew and Hamzah, Sulaiman and Mukari, Siti Zamratol Mai Sarah (2017) Comparative Analysis of Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Programs in Malaysia, China and Philippines.
