As per the National Family Health Survey-5*, 72.8% and 65.6% children are anemic in Mumbai and Mumbai suburbs respectively. Anemia prevalence among Indian adolescent females rose from 54% to 59% from 2015-2016 to 2019-2021.
The problem is multifaceted and influenced by a variety of factors including nutritional deficiencies, socio-economic conditions, and healthcare infrastructure.
