Intravenous iron for anaemia in pregnancy: A quantitative study of acceptability and feasibility of its integration into routine antenatal care practice in Nigeria
Post-implementation, IV iron was perceived as highly acceptable and feasible with no differences across cadre, state, or facility levels. While acceptability significantly improved over time, feasibility also increased, though not statistically significantly at the 0.05 level.
