How is India s economy affecting health? Look at rise in anaemia among women

How is India’s economy affecting health? Look at rise in anaemia among women Based on trends seen in the latest National Family Health Survey, one can connect the dots between rising malnutrition, anaemia & changing policy landscape. Text Size: A+ The Indian economy has often been likened to an elephant due to its sheer size. The elephant paradigm holds equally true when it comes to the recently released National Family Health Survey on anaemia among women, which has registered an increasing trend. All Indian states covered in phase I of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) shows an increase in the proportion of women aged 15-49 who are anaemic across the spectrum barring Meghalaya. It’s not just anaemic women, but the proportion of malnourished children and women that have also increased. Also, as India trails behind in the Global Hunger Index, one can connect the dots between rising malnutrition, anaemia, and the changing policy landscape.
