LSS decides to tackle anaemia
A Medical Camp in collaboration with the M East Ward MOH was held in which 50% of those tested were diagnosed as anaemic. Iron tonics were distributed but LSS plans on taking this facility to cover a larger area as Iron-deficiency anaemia is the most common form of malnutrition in the world and is the eighth leading cause of disease in girls and women in developing countries. There is a high prevalence of anaemia among women in Mumbai.
