ABSTRACT
Anemia in pregnancy, particularly iron deficiency, is a prominent problem in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to identify the prevalence of Anemia among pregnant women attending ante-natal care units of selected hospitals of in Anambra state. About 1077 pregnant women were screened for Anemia using Cyanmethemoglobin method during the first ante-natal visit. The prevalence of Anemia was found to be 50.14 per cent which is nearly equivalent to the prevalence rate reported in the literature. Further, findings of the study revealed that the prevalence was higher among young women, women belonging to low socio- economic status and women with short pregnancy intervals and higher parity. High prevalence rate of Anemia observed in the present study suggests implementing various preventive strategies, especially advocacy and monitoring of the iron and folic acid supplementation.
