Iron deficiency anemia is a serious health issue, particularly affecting women and children in Vietnam. That's why PDC is partnering with the "For a Vietnam Without Iron Deficiency Anemia" program, a nationwide free campaign aimed at raising awareness about iron deficiency and providing timely supplementation solutions for those in need.

The program is organized at over 600 pharmacies nationwide, running from October 8, 2024, through the end of 2024, specifically targeting postpartum women and children.

Why is iron deficiency anemia dangerous?

Iron deficiency anemia is a condition where the body lacks iron, an essential micronutrient that helps produce red blood cells and transport oxygen throughout the body. If not detected and treated promptly, this condition can cause many dangerous effects such as:

- Weakened immune system: Anemia makes the body more susceptible to illness due to low resistance, especially in children and postpartum women.

- Fatigue, weakness: People with iron deficiency anemia often feel tired, lack energy, and cannot concentrate on work or study.

- Risk of pregnancy complications: Pregnant or postpartum women with iron deficiency may experience premature birth, low birth weight, and serious health impacts on both mother and baby.

- Developmental delays in children: Children with iron deficiency may experience physical and cognitive developmental delays, affecting their future.

Facing the potential risks of iron deficiency anemia, the "For a Vietnam Without Iron Deficiency Anemia" program was established to help women and children nationwide access timely anemia prevention and treatment solutions.
