Periconceptional Surveillance for Prevention of Anemia and Birth Defects in India

Implementing Organization

Principal Investigator

Medical Director, Arogyavaram Medical Centre (AMC), Andhra Pradesh

Project Overview

Women of reproductive age (WRA) are a high-risk population for anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies. Evidence supports the role of periconceptional nutrition in the development of adverse pregnancy complications. However, in India, there are limited population-based data to guide evidence-based recommendations and priority setting. The objective of the study is to conduct a population-based biomarker survey of anaemia and vitamin B12 and folate status in WRA as part of a periconceptional surveillance programme in Southern India.
