    Iron-deficiency anaemia is the most widespread nutritional disorder globally, affecting 2 billion people or almost one third of the world's population. People in developing countries, especially pregnant women, infants and preschool children, are most at risk. Anaemia contributes to 20% of maternal deaths and can cause reduced physical and cognitive development in children as well as decreased work productivity in adults. The WHO states anaemia does not need to be a major health issue as prevention is inexpensive and effective through increased consumption of iron-rich foods, iron supplements, and controlling infections. Nestlé has committed to providing 200 billion servings of micronutrient-fortified foods and beverages annually worldwide by 2016 to help reduce the risk of undernutrition.

    A GLOBAL EPIDEMIC
    Iron-deficiency anaemia is the world’s most
    widespread nutritional disorder.

    THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM THE PEOPLE MOST AT RISK


    People in developing countries are far more likely to live in
    social and economic situations that exacerbate anaemia.
