Did you know that up to 2 in 5 women and children worldwide are affected by anaemia yet progress in reducing anaemia has stalled for the past two decades, far from reaching the global target of a 50% reduction by 2030?
The Lancet Haematology Commission unpacks key drivers of anaemia, existing interventions and gaps and highlights 10 key actionable recommendations to accelerate global efforts in anaemia reduction.

Global efforts to reduce anaemia are stalling & political decisions risk progress.

A new Commission aims to address gaps in evidence, implementation, governance, & target-setting to reinvigorate efforts in anaemia control.

Animal studies suggest an important role of iron in neurodevelopment. Researchers found limited evidence for the effects of iron supplementation on neurodevelopment in African children despite the high burden of iron deficiency in this population. https://t.co/cB1RwZwFh5

@KenyaPower_Care You need to re-evaluate whether power provision is still within your mandate. Mnarani KILIFI suffers power outage way too many times. It’s been 1 month now where power goes out for hours 5/7 days. Sort it out!!

@Sarah_AtkinsonS @wellcometrust @KEMRI_Wellcome @TropMedOxford Congratulations Prof. Sarah!

This systematic review shows limited and inconclusive evidence for the effects of prenatal or childhood vitamin D status on neurobehavioral outcomes in children and further well-conducted studies are needed. https://t.co/eTmoS5tYRB
