Abstract

In developing nations, anaemia is one of the most frequent nutritional deficiency illnesses afflicting pregnant women. Anemia during pregnancy is linked to a poor pregnancy outcome and can lead to complications that endanger both the mother and the foetus' lives. In low-income nations, anaemia during pregnancy correlates to a bad outcome for both mother and child. Postpartum haemorrhage, the requirement for blood transfusions, maternal mortality, low birth weight, and perinatal mortality were all examined as negative outcomes. Severe anaemia during pregnancy has a negative impact on both the mother and the foetus. It appears that maternal hazards rise before foetal risks. It is advised that hospitals in low-income countries prioritise the prevention, early detection, and treatment of severe anaemia in pregnancy in order to enhance mother and foetal outcomes.
