🚨 New Publication! 🌍 This Nature Medicine publication, co-authored by #HMHB Program Lead Martin N. Mwangi, PhD, and partners, explores the critical global health challenge of #anemia in #pregnancy, which impacts an alarming 46% of women in Africa. 📊 The authors found that a single dose of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) significantly reduced anemia prevalence compared to standard oral iron therapy—46.7% vs. 62.7% at delivery or 36 weeks of gestation. 💡 These findings offer valuable insights into optimizing #maternalhealth strategies, especially in regions where oral iron supplementation often falls short due to adherence challenges or insufficient time before childbirth. 📄 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gruzsWns Sant-Rayn Pasricha Ernest Moya Glory Mzembe Zinenani Truwah Justina Kaunda Khic-Houy Prang Dr. Owen Mtambo, PhD MSc BSc DipEdu Maclean Vokhiwa Mhango Gomezgani Katherine Fielding Ayşe Yasemin Demir Hans Verhoef Lucinda Manda-Taylor
