Anaemia is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world. It is a major health problem that affects 25-50% of the population of the world and approximately 50% of pregnant women.
1 WHO has estimated that prevalence of anaemia in pregnant women is 14% in developed and 51% in developing countries and 65-75% in India? 2 India contributes to about 80% of the maternal deaths due to anaemia in South Asia. Anaemia in pregnancy accounts for one fifth of maternal deaths worldwide and is a major factor responsible for low birth weight. Prevalence of anaemia is higher among pregnant women and it persists in India despite of the availability of effective, low-cost interventions for prevention and treatment.
