Anaemia in Pregnancy Linked to High Maternal Mortality Rates.
Anaemia in pregnancy is a common problem worldwide, especially in developing countries where up to 75% of women are affected. Severe anaemia can lead to maternal mortality and morbidity. Iron deficiency is the main cause of anaemia, with vitamin A deficiency also playing a role. It is challenging to assess micronutrient levels during pregnancy, and infections can worsen deficiencies.
