ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE TOWARD PREVENTION OF ANEMIA AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN ATTENDING ANTENATAL CARE

Abstract

Anemia among pregnant women continues to be among the public health problems in Rwanda and has long-term consequences to health, social and economic development if not addressed. Its increases portray challenges in existing approaches to alleviate its burden; new approaches, based on scientifically identified risk factors to which interventions should be targeted are needed.
