Abstract: Women provide the majority of health care globally, in both official and informal settings, as well as at home. Unfortunately, their own health needs, particularly in rural and impoverished areas, are underserved. There is a need for a more comprehensive, evidence-based life cycle agenda for women's health that is not limited to pregnancy and the postpartum period. Anemia has a negative impact on women's health, resulting in higher maternal mortality, prenatal morbidity, preterm birth, and low birth weight, among other things. The article focuses on iron deficiency anaemia, which is the greatest in the world among Indian women.
