Excerpt
The prevalence of nutritional anaemia and its potentially deleterious effects on pregnant women, particularly in developing countries has been well documented. Numexous studies, from both developed and developing countries have looked at dosages and/or combinations of drugs necessary to most effectively prevent and control anaemia in pregnant women. Fortification of different foods with iron and dietary modifications have also been explored as possible avenues for anaemia control programmes. In association, researchers have developed models to identify women ac risk and have looked at various elements influencing health care delivery services.
