Researchers analyzed data from multiple clinical trials, highlighting the critical need for iron supplementation and nutritional support during pregnancy.

The findings underscore the long-term health consequences of maternal anaemia, urging healthcare providers to prioritize screening and treatment for expectant mothers.
