Abstract
The most common micronutrient deficiency disorder among pregnant women is Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD), which becomes obvious in the form of night blindness during the third trimester, when the demand by both the unborn child and the mother is the highest. Night blindness in women is recognized as a public health problem and its occurrence can be used as a simple and reliable indicator of VAD in the community as a whole. The effects of maternal VAD on the infant are manifold, gruesome and lifelong.Downloads
