Abstract

Anaemia affects approximately 38% of pregnant women globally and is a major public health concern. In pregnancy,
it can be caused by various factors, including inadequate intake of iron and other nutrients, increased iron
requirements due to the growth of the fetus and placenta, and blood loss during delivery. Anaemia in pregnancy is
associated with various adverse outcomes, including preterm delivery, low birth weight, perinatal mortality, and
maternal morbidity and mortality.Anaemia in pregnancy is a significant public health problem with potentially serious
consequences for both the mother and the fetus. Efforts to prevent and treat it in pregnancy are essential to improve
maternal and fetal health outcomes.Early detection and management of anaemia in pregnancy are crucial for the
health of both the mother and the baby, preventive measures against the causes of anaemia, sensitization of the public
about the effects of anaemia.
