Pakistan has launched the National Anaemia Reduction Plan for Adolescent Girls and Women for 2025–2030 in collaboration with the World Health Organization and other partners.
The initiative aims to combat anaemia and accelerate progress towards the global target of reducing its prevalence by 50 percent by 2030.
The plan will strengthen efforts to prevent and control anaemia among adolescent girls and women through coordinated public health interventions and improved access to healthcare services.
It aligns with the World Health Assembly’s global target of achieving a 50 percent reduction in anaemia among women of reproductive age by 2030.
Anaemia is a condition marked by a lower-than-normal level of haemoglobin in the blood. It can cause fatigue, weakness and reduced physical capacity, and can have serious consequences for maternal health and overall well-being.
The initiative highlights the importance of collaboration among government institutions, international health organisations and other stakeholders to strengthen prevention, early identification and management of anaemia.
The WHO and its partners reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Pakistan’s efforts to protect the health of adolescent girls and women and reduce the burden of anaemia through coordinated action.
