Various efforts have been made by the Ministry of Health to overcome anemia in pregnant women, including routine provision of iron tablets to pregnant women. This coverage has not reached the national standard of 90%, so efforts need to be made to achieve the set target. The factors causing the failure to achieve the target of the Fe supplementation program are not yet known. One of the nutritional problems that often occurs in pregnant women is nutritional anemia, which is the largest and most difficult micronutrient problem to overcome worldwide. The purpose of PkM is to overcome the incidence of anemia in pregnant women so that it is necessary to organize and manage the provision of iron tablets.
