| Abstract | The aim of this study was to screen for and determine the prevalence, severity and determinants of anaemia in pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in south of Tanzania. In this facility-based cross-sectional descriptive study, pregnant women attending antenatal clinics were selected through a convenient non-probability sampling in one district hospital in south of Tanzania. Interviews using standardized questionnaires were conducted, physical examination and determination of haemoglobin levels done. Data analysis was done using SPPS V20.0. A total of 356 pregnant women were included in this analysis. Their mean age was 24.5 ±2.4 years. The mean haemoglobin level was 10.74 ± 1.39g/dL and the point-prevalence of anemia in pregnancy was 46.3%. Pregnant women who had severe anaemia were 14(8.5%), while maternal education status, woman‘s occupation, religion, family average monthly income, breastfeeding patterns and parity were all found to be statistically significant independent predictors for maternal anemia in pregnancy. Anaemia in pregnancy is a serious public health problem in south of Tanzania. We recommend strengthening measures to prevent anaemia in pregnant and women of reproductive age in the study area. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
