Hemoglobin response to iron-folic acid supplementation and associated factors among anemic pregnant women attending the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital ANC ward Northwest, Ethiopia 2023: A longitudinal follow up study
Hemoglobin level changed significantly from base line to end line. In this study, less than half of the study participants had poor hemoglobin response due to the aforementioned factors. Therefore, focused policies, health care facilitators and providers should strengthen efforts to provide information and create awareness about the benefits of iron and folic acid supplementation during pregnancy.
