The health care sector has evolved in the 21st century in an attempt to curb the constantly
arising disorders and diseases. Industrialization in the international sector has brought so much
economic benefit with it, but it is not without side effects. There has been a rise in diseases and

the utero and newborn screening (Discovery Communications LLC, 2012). It also checks the

of children and avoid disorders at an early stage. The technology should focus on the handling of
cancer cases due to the genetic mutation in kids.
