The stagnation of child anaemia (6–23 months) in Tanzania from 2004 to 2022: a missed opportunity during the ‘first 1000 days’
s Child anaemia in Tanzania has stagnated between 2015-2022, failing to meet national targets. The burden has remained disproportionately high among low birth weight children and those aged <2 years, with those residing in coastal regions and high food production areas being especially vulnerable. Targeted interventions during the first 1000 days of life should be prioritised to break the intergenerational cycle of anaemia.
