Abstract

Pregnant women are predominantly susceptible to develop anaemia as their diet generally deficient in iron and at the same time there is an extra demand for iron by the growing foetus. Moreover, worm infestation is widely found among the people due to poor sanitation in third world countries. This is found to be one of the important causes for chronic blood loss leading to anaemia. But severe anaemia in pregnant women is associated with an increased risk of premature births, still births, maternal morbidity and mortality.
