Maternal Anaemia: Addressing a Public Health Concern in India

Maternal anaemia is when pregnant women don't have enough healthy red blood cells.

This is a big problem in India, affecting about half of all expecting mothers.

It can make women very tired and raise the risk of babies being born underweight.

It can also increase the chance of mothers dying during childbirth.

The good news is, anaemia can often be prevented.

Eating the right foods, living a healthy lifestyle, and getting good medical care can help keep mothers and babies healthy.

This means mothers can have healthier pregnancies.
