India at risk of disease
Malnutrition and anaemia pose a huge health challenge to India, according to the Global Nutrition Report 2017 (“‘Malnutrition, anaemia pose huge health challenge to India’”, Gulf News, November 8). It revealed that India has more than 51 per cent of women who are suffering from anaemia, and this is an alarming signal. The main cause for anaemia is the deficiency of iron in the blood, which can be overcome with eating foods like green vegetables. Many women are not eating an iron-rich diet, which is one of the root causes for anaemia. The Indian government should act on this and take the necessary steps to reduce the percentage of people suffering from anaemia in the coming days.
