Strategies of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization for the control of iron deficiency in Latin America

Abstract:

Iron deficiency anemia is one of the major micronutrient deficiencies in the world. Its etiology is well understood, and inexpensive solutions to the problem have been identified. Nevertheless, the problem persists. This paper estimates the magnitude of iron deficiency anemia and presents strategies suggested by the Pan American Health Organization of the World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) for adoption by individual countries.
