Current anaemia reduction targets might not have been achievable.

As we approach the end of the current Sustainable Development Goals period, the Commission proposes a transformative approach to future target setting.

7/8

[The Lancet Haematology @TheLancetHaem]

Amid current challenges, @TheLancetHaem Commission highlights🔟key recommendations for reducing the global burden of anaemia.

6/8

[The Lancet Haematology @TheLancetHaem]

The success of these projects relies heavily on international cooperation and funding from major bilateral donors.

Recent changes in global foreign aid policies pose a substantial threat to global efforts to understand and reduce the burden of anaemia.

5/8

[The Lancet Haematology @TheLancetHaem]

Understanding how key drivers of anaemia differ between population groups will require multiple and innovative efforts.

4/8

[The Lancet Haematology @TheLancetHaem]

Up to 2 in 5 women & children globally are affected by anaemia.

Despite the availability of numerous interventions & international guidelines, progress in reducing anaemia has stalled over the past 20 years, falling short of the global target of a 50% reduction by 2030.

3/8

[The Lancet Haematology @TheLancetHaem]

Understanding the diverse causes of anaemia is crucial for effective intervention, and global collaboration is key to making progress.

Anaemia arises from a complex interplay of fundamental drivers, intermediate risk factors, and direct causes.

2/8

[The Lancet Haematology @TheLancetHaem]

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.
