#Anaemia affects 60% of children under the age of 5 years and 40% of adolescent girls and women in Africa, which results in a total annual economic cost of US$32.4 billion (1.1% of total income). Yesterday in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the African Union (AU) Specialized Technical Committee (STC) on Health, Nutrition, Population, and Drug Control reviewed a new Strategic Framework for the Prevention and Management of Anaemia in Africa, a testament to the collaborative efforts between the African Union, Member States, and stakeholders, with support from @WHO and @NutritionIntl and funding from @GAC_Corporate. You can see what anaemia costs your country by #CostofInaction - https://t.co/usuXoww6np. #AfricanUnion #Health #Nutrition #AnaemiaPrevention #PublicHealth #Africa #NutritionAdvocacy @_AfricanUnion #AddisAbaba
