Center’s anemia plan has gaps to fill to address growing prevalence (Bharat Express News) 

Bharat Express-News published an article stating that in 2019, India was among the 35 countries most affected by anemia in children and pregnant women. One reason the Center’s programs may have had limited success, experts say, is misdirected treatment. There is no survey that traces the causes of anemia in adults. Senior research fellow Purnima Menon said, “Iron deficiency is just one cause. Factors such as malaria, inflammation, genetic diseases, and general nutritional deficiencies can also lead to anemia.”
