This metric evaluates the proportion of women who experienced a live birth within the last three years and were
provided with iron supplementation, either in tablet or syrup form, during their pregnancy leading up to the most recent childbirth. Iron supplements are
crucial in preventing anemia and ensuring optimal maternal and fetal health outcomes. High percentages in this indicator reflect effective antenatal care practices and improved healthcare access, highlighting the importance of nutritional interventions in prenatal support. By analyzing this data, policymakers and healthcare providers can assess the effectiveness of their antenatal programs and identify areas needing improvement to better safeguard maternal and child health.
