KARNAL:

This was part of the 100-Day Anemia Prevalence Reduction Campaign implemented in Haryana from June to September 2024 by the NHM.

Health officials said since the far-reaching consequences of anaemia are multifaceted like impaired cognitive development in children, hindering their future potential, reduced work capacity in adults, it results in decreased productivity and economic growth and adverse pregnancy outcomes, including increased risk of maternal and infant mortality, low birth weight, and preterm birth.
