Closing insights from our Tackling Maternal Anaemia session at #WHSNewDelhi2025
“We must treat low Hb in pregnancy with greater seriousness. Women with anaemia are less tolerant of blood loss, raising the risk of PPH. Prevention must start preconception and continue throughout pregnancy.”
– Dr. Jaydeep Tank, Immediate Past President, @fogsiofficial
New data from DABS shows maternal anaemia levels may be 8–9% lower than estimated.
“To Test, Treat and Track better, we need innovations—non-invasive screening, real-time treatment algorithms, and point-of-care serum ferritin testing.”
– Dr. Reema Mukherjee, @ICMRDELHI

After a powerful Day 1 at #WHSNewDelhi2025, we’re set to begin our first session of Day 2: Tackling Maternal Anaemia for Healthier Pregnancies
📍 MR8, Bharat Mandapam | 🕘 9:00–10:30 AM
“Anaemia is the world’s biggest public health problem. Most middle-income countries are still struggling.”
– Dr. N K Arora, Executive Director, INCLEN Trust International
Key reflections:
1️⃣ Understanding why over 50% population in India is anaemic and what protects the other 50%?
2️⃣ Micronutrients don’t work in isolation—iron, folate, B12, and others interact in complex ways
3️⃣ Gut health matters. Poor WASH services can impair nutrient absorption, reducing the impact of supplements.
If 92% of women are receiving IFA in 🇮🇳, why aren’t we seeing better outcomes? We need to rethink how we define and deliver success.

“In India, neglected tropical diseases have become a national priority due to strong commitments by @MoHFW_INDIA. Leadership has championed the cause of lymphatic filariasis elimination - engaging elected representatives and helping raise NTDs on the national health agenda," said @anayyar1, Executive Vice President, Global Health Strategies.
“Strong political prioritization and consistent community communication are essential to tackling LF at scale.”
Dr. Rajshree Das, Senior Director for NTDs at @PCI_India_, shared: "Inter-ministerial convergence has also played a key role, with departments like education, women and child development, tribal affairs, SRLMs, and ICDS all joining efforts to drive awareness and uptake."
