Journal Title: International Journal of Science and Healthcare Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Maternal mortality is still becoming major public health problems over the world. All countries, especially developing countries has taken a part to deal with this problem. The most common causes of maternal morbidity and mortality is anaemia during pregnancy. It is estimated that almost 30% of reproductive women are anaemic while pregnant women were 38.2%. Micronutrient supplementation is widely used to prevent anaemia during pregnancy and proved that the pregnancy outcome was better. However, a Moringa leaf, a local plant, is considered to contribute on anaemia prevention. This literature explained the benefit of micronutrient and Moringa-based supplementation in anaemia prevention and better pregnancy outcome. Based on literature, iron-folic acid is a global standard supplement program which used in many developing countries to prevent anaemia during pregnancy. Currently, studies on Moringa extract give evidence to government and community to utilize this local food in order to prevent anaemia and adverse pregnancy outcome.
