Moved out of Anemia

Anemia - A major Health Problem

Anaemia affects over 800 million women worldwide. In India, it is classified as a major public health problem as it is estimated that 52% of nonpregnant women of reproductive age are anaemic. Although the primary cause of anaemia is iron-deficiency, it is seldom present in isolation

DHAN Foundation - Two Decades Experience on Anaemia Control

Anaemia Control Programme is a part of the health initiatives which is considered to be the Flagship programme of DHAN Foundation. This has been implemented over a period of more than two decades and brought in the reduction of prevalence rate of anaemia using the Behaviour Change Communication as the major strategy not only changing the knowledge, attitude but majorly the behaviour and practices related to Anaemia.

The ill effect of anaemia during the adolescent period not addressed at the right time get reflected during pregnancy will end up in Low Birth Weight and resulting in an unhealthy generation in the future. There are services given to the adolescent girls over a period since 2004 and there is a gradual reduction of prevalence of anaemia till 2019 and were able to reduce the prevalence up to 41.4% in the last 19 years.

Fight against Anemia - Our Plan and Approach

Our Aim and Vision

We plan to empower around 40,000 adolscent women and girls from around eight districts in India to overcome anemia through SUHAM Health-Care initiatives and packages.

Our Areas of Actions

  • We aspire to move out atleast 5000 women and girls from Anemia from each of this district - the total being 40,000 benefitted beneficiaries
    • 1 Ratlam From Madhya Pradesh 2 Beed & Nanded From Maharashtra
    3 Gaya From Bihar 4 Gulbarga From Karnataka
    5 Ahilabad From Andhra Pradesh 6 Mayurbanj & Koraput From Odhisha

Our Plan and Approach

  • Provide health education for sustainable behavioural and practice change

    • One of the most vital weapon for fighting Anemia is to provide systematic awareness and education to the victims of Anemia.

    Health Education can be majorly classified in following ways

    • Awareness on Anemia This consists of educating the women and girls about the reasons of Anemia and its causes.
    • Behavioural Change Communication A change in lifestyle and behaviour can go a long way in fighting Anemia. We promote and encourage behavioural change amongst the women. Simple things include wearing the chappal,using toilets,using napkin and personal hygiene.
    • Nutrition Awareness Right Nutrition is necessary for ensuring Iron intake in our body is optimum. Our approach in nutrition awareness includes intake of Iron rich food,Iron Absorbtion food,avoiding Iron Inhibit food. We also would facilitate in providing intake of Iron Tablets and intake of Deworming Tablets.

  • Enhancing Iron-Rich Food Behaviour

    • Anemia is nothing but iron-deficiancy and it makes it difficult for your red blood cells to deliver oxygen. Symptoms of anemia may include fatigue, chest pain or shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, dizziness and headache, poor appetite, and unusual cravings for substances like ice, dirt, or starch.

    We promote Iron-Rich Food Behaviour by

    • Promoting intake of Iron rich food
    • Intake of Iron Absorption food
    • Discouraging Iron Inhibit Food
    • Intake of Iron Tablets
  • Household monitoring of Women and girls

    • Personal Monitoring of Beneficiaries will help them in required guidance and motivation.

    We plan to personally guide the beneficiaries by

    • Organizing Regular Group Meetings
    • Individual Counselling
    • Making Home Visits
    • Family Counselling
    Iron–folic acid (IFA) supplementation during or before pregnancy can effectively reduce the risk of iron deficiency and anemia and improve gestational outcomes (Peña-Rosas and Viteri 2009).
  • Providing IFA Iron Folic Acid Supplements
