Summary

This study tested two low-cost care packages to prevent severe anemia in pregnant women in Zanzibar, Tanzania. About 2,500 women received either standard care (malaria treatment, deworming, iron, and folic acid) or enhanced care (standard plus multivitamins and extra deworming). The goal was to reduce severe anemia, improve birth outcomes, and lower the need for blood transfusions.
