Anemia and IV Iron Injections
Anemia in Pregnancy A National Emergency
Anemia during pregnancy is a significant public health crisis, affecting over 50% of pregnant women in Pakistan. This widespread condition has devastating consequences, not only for the mothers but also for their unborn children. The failure to address anemia in pregnancy is contributing to alarmingly high rates of maternal and child morbidity in the country.
Looking Ahead: A National Vision

Our efforts empower children to reach their full potential by reducing the long-term effects of anemia on early development.
Breaking the Cycle of Anemia & Stunted Growth
Addressing Anemia to Prevent Stunted Growth
