Indicator Summary

“Pregnant Women Aged 15-49 Years Who are Anaemic” refers to the percentage or number of pregnant women within the reproductive age range (15-49 years) with lower-than-normal haemoglobin levels in their blood. Anaemia in pregnant women is commonly caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12. It is a significant public health concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries, as it increases the risk of maternal and neonatal complications, such as premature birth, low birth weight, and maternal mortality. Monitoring anaemia in pregnant women is critical for ensuring their health and the well-being of their babies. Various interventions, such as iron supplementation, improved dietary practices, and better healthcare access, are essential for reducing anaemia rates. Governments and international organizations often track this indicator to assess women’s health status and design interventions to improve maternal health outcomes.
