dc.description.abstractMaternal anaemia is associated with a higher risk of maternal mortality and poor perinatal outcomes. Even mild and moderate iron deficiency anaemia can undermine cardiovascular functioning and thereby put at risk both wellbeing and survival. This brief provides: background to the increasing rates of anaemia in Karnataka/Bangalore districts; outlines the barriers to effective prevention and treatment; suggests effective solutions including improving outreach and effectiveness; and makes nine recommendations. The “knowledge-implementation” project brief is intended to clearly spell out the implications of research and put forth specific recommendations for programming and policy.en
