HYDERABAD: According to the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS), 57.6 per cent women in Telangana are anaemic. Further, the number of adolescent girls (between 15 and 19 years of age) suffering from anaemia in the State has increased by almost 5 per cent in five years.
While around 60 per cent of teenage women were found to be anaemic in the year 2015-16, data for the year 2019-20 reveals that 65 per cent of them suffer from the condition now.
Unfortunately, experts state that there will be a drastic increase in cases of anaemia in girls, as they are being deprived of iron supplements provided in government schools due to the Covid-induced lockdown.
