Given the high prevalence and diverse causes of anemia in this population, and its potentially dire effects on maternal and infant health and survival, SMRU implemented increased clinical testing for pregnant women in 2012 to inform clinical care at the individual level. Further analysis of these data is urgently needed to improve care on a population scale. We propose to review existing data from ANC records to determine the causes and effects of anemia in this population, and use this information to improve treatment and prevention guidelines. Results would be integrated rapidly into local practice with the potential to have profound impacts on maternal and child health in this region.
