Anaemia Action Alliance

#Anaemia remains a critical public health issue affecting millions worldwide. The Anaemia Action Alliance brings together diverse perspectives and solutions, enabling members to share resources and expertise. By working together, we can amplify the impact of efforts to reduce anemia, achieving greater outcomes than could be accomplished by individual organizations or initiatives. 💡 Learn more about at ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eDx8ScBz

As 2024 draws to a close, we want to express our gratitude to the researchers, health workers, practitioners, organizations and advocates who are dedicated to reducing anaemia. We also want to thank our anaemia partners for their dedication and excellent collaboration in addressing this public health issue.

It’s #UHCDay! Health is a fundamental human right. Investing in #UniversalHealthCoverage demonstrably increases health and well-being, while simultaneously improving equity and social cohesion. The Anaemia Action Alliance urges stakeholders and leaders with decision-making authority to prioritize financial protection for health. It is estimated that for every US$1 invested in interventions aimed at reducing anaemia in women, US$12 in economic returns could be generated. Addressing anaemia requires a multisectoral approach. While nutritional interventions are crucial, they alone cannot address all forms of anaemia. A comprehensive strategy involving various sectors is essential to achieve significant progress. By working together, we can build healthier populations, save lives, and achieve progress towards the World Health Assembly's global nutrition goals and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Anaemia affects 1 in 4 people globally, limiting health, cognitive development, and productivity, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Tackling this complex challenge requires evidence informed strategies targeting nutritional and non-nutritional causes. Join us for an exclusive webinar hosted by Nutrition International and 3ie to explore the new Anaemia Evidence Gap Map (EGM). Developed with support from the Government of Canada, the EGM highlights key interventions and identifies critical research gaps in addressing the nutritional and non-nutritional causes of anaemia with over 2,200 impact evaluations and 57 systematic reviews.

Great new article from Our World in Data on #anemia trends and what we can do to move them in in a more positive direction. "While the stagnation at the global level is worrying, these positive developments show that it is a tractable problem that we can tackle with the right interventions." https://lnkd.in/g5qVEQ3z

Common and non-specific symptoms of #anaemia include: - tiredness - dizziness or feeling light-headed - cold hands and feet - headache - shortness of breath, especially upon exertion

Anaemia affects nearly a quarter of the global population. Progress in reducing it has stagnated. Poverty, gender inequality, climate change, and disparities in healthcare and education are factors that have a large bearing on reducing anaemia. The Anaemia Action Alliance brings together a broad group of actors to achieve a collective vision where all women, adolescent girls, and children are empowered and enabled to benefit from appropriate and timely actions for the prevention and management of anaemia. #ActOnAnaemia
