Anemia is the most prevalent cause of hematological problem that occurs more frequently during pregnancy. According to World Health Organization data, up to 56% of all women in underdeveloped nations are anemic. Anemia is readily defined by measuring hemoglobin concentrations and evaluating a peripheral blood smear for distinctive red blood cell abnormalities. Iron supplementation is recommended throughout pregnancy to avoid problems. This was a study done in Shebin Elkom Health Center from April 2021 to January 2022. The study was conducted on 300 pregnant women at obstetrics and gynecology department. The study consisted of two phases: the first phase was a cross‑sectional study and the second phase was an interventional prospective study.
