Anemia is a condition in which the blood has less haemoglobin than normal which reduces the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen through the body. 

This results in fatigue and dizziness that can lower the capacity to grow, develop and work, and in more severe cases can cause significant cognitive and physical impairment. 

Anemia in women also raises the risk of death for mothers and children during or soon after birth, as well as the risk of babies being born too early or too small. Anemic mothers are more likely to have anaemic children.

So is very important to do a screen and test approach for prevention and treatment of anemia.
