This document discusses strategies to address anemia among pregnant women in Assam, India. It begins by outlining the high prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in the state. It then details the operational steps taken, including: distributing iron and folic acid tablets through various health centers; the dosing and regimen; ensuring compliance; and the roles of health workers like ANMs, MOs, and ASHAs. It provides treatment protocols based on hemoglobin levels. The goals of the Mission Tejashwee initiative are outlined, including generating demand for ANC services and focusing on identifying and treating anemic pregnant women. District and block-level activities and reporting formats are also summarized.
Anemia management of anemia in pregnancyDR MUKESH SAH
Treatment for Anemia
If you are anemic during your pregnancy, you may need to start taking an iron supplement and/or folic acid supplement in addition to your prenatal vitamins. Your doctor may also suggest that you add more foods that are high in iron and folic acid to your diet.
Chhaya is an oral contraceptive pill which does not contain any hormone. It is available in the market in some places as 'Saheli' tablet. It has been introduced in the public health system in the name of 'Chhaya' to benefit more women at no cost. It is a safe spacing option for both breast feeding and non-breast feeding women and needs to be taken only twice a week for the first 3 months and then once a Week.

Retained placenta can be defined as lack of placental expulsion within 30 minutes of delivery of an infant. it is more common in preterm. Retained Placenta can lead to massive PPH and increase maternal morbidity and mortality.
Rh Incompatibility in Pregnancy. Rh incompatibility occurs when a pregnant woman whose blood type is Rh-negative is exposed to Rh-positive blood from her fetus, leading to the mother's development of Rh antibodies
Identifying women with GDM is important because appropriate therapy can decrease maternal and fetal morbidity .
Can prevent two generations from developing diabetes in the future.
It is a composite graphical recording of cervical dilatation and descent of head against duration of labour in hours.
It also gives information about fetal and maternal condition that are all recorded on single sheet of paper.
Majority of fetal deaths occur in the antepartum period.
There is progressive decline in maternal deaths all over the world. Currently more interest is focused to evaluate the fetal health. The primary objective of antenatal assessment is to avoid fetal death.

Mongol Empire " highlighting best strategic patterns in war"Emie Marie Navarro
this presentation depicts a brief exploration about mongol empire. it will give you enlightenment on Mongols contribution during the period of the Muslim world domination.
The GDG stresses that the four-visit focused ANC (FANC) model does not offer women adequate contact with health-care practitioners and is no longer recommended. With the FANC model, the first ANC visit occurs before 12 weeks of pregnancy, the second around 26 weeks, the third around 32 weeks, and the fourth between 36 and 38 weeks of gestation
This presentation deals with information regarding a minor disorder of pregnancy i.e hyperemesis gravidarum, its manifestations, causes, diagnostic evaluation,complications, management, nursing interventions etc.Though its a minor disorder, delayed treatment can be fatal.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

9. Anemia in women
• The consequences of anaemia in women are
enormous as the condition adversely affects both
their productive and reproductive capabilities.
• Among women, iron deficiency prevalence is
higher than among men due to menstrual iron
losses and the extreme iron demands of a
growing foetus during pregnancies, which are
approximately two times the demands in the
non-pregnant state.
10. Anemia in women
• Worldwide, it is estimated that about 20 per cent of maternal
deaths are caused by anaemia; in addition, anaemia contributes
partly to 50 per cent of all maternal deaths
• First, anaemia reduces women’s energy and capacity for work and
can therefore threaten household food security and income.
Second, severe anaemia in pregnancy impairs oxygen delivery to
the foetus and interferes with normal intra-uterine growth,
resulting in intra-uterine growth retardation, stillbirth, LBW and
neonatal deaths.
• Therefore, anaemia is a major contributor to poor pregnancy and
birth outcomes in developing countries as it predisposes to
premature delivery, increased perinatal mortality and increased risk
of death during delivery and postpartum.

14. Operational steps
• Iron and folic acid tablets are being distributed
through VHNDs, sub-centres, primary health
centres (PHCs), community health centres
(CHCs) and district hospitals (DHs) to all
pregnant women and lactating mothers.
15. Dose and regimen
• IFA supplementation (100 mg elemental iron and 500
mcg of folic acid) every day for at least 100 days,
starting after the first trimester, at 14–16 weeks of
gestation followed by the same dose for 100 days in post-
partum period.
• Nutrition counselling will be provided during
antenatal/postnatal check-ups and during monthly Village
Health & Nutrition Day (VHND) to pregnant women and
lactating mothers.
• In addition to this, all women in the reproductive age group
in the pre-conception period and up to the first trimester of
the pregnancy are advised to have 400 mcg of folic acid
tablets to reduce the incidence of neural tube defects in
the foetus.
16. • Provision of IFA tablets to pregnant women
will be during routine antenatal visits at
subcentre/PHC/CHC/DH.
• ASHA to ensure provision of IFA supplements
to pregnant women who are not able to come
for regular antenatal checkups through home
visits.
• She will also monitor compliance of IFA tablets
consumption through weekly house visits.

21. Compliance
• Ensure availability of IFA tablets at all levels
• Provision of tablets to pregnant women in time
• Regular tracking of pregnant women for ANC
checkups including Hb testing and completion
of treatment
• Counselling of pregnant women on the common
side-effects of IFA supplementation, general
myths associated with intake of IFA tablets,
related risk if anaemia not treated, etc
22. Precautions for oral therapy
• Intake of doses as per regime, should be taken regularly and must
complete the treatment
• Ideally, tablets should be taken on empty stomach for better
absorption. In case of gastritis, nausea, vomiting etc., advise to
take one hour after meal or at night
• If constipation occurs, advise to drink more water and add
roughage to diet
• IFA tablets should not be consumed with tea, coffee, milk or
calcium tablets
• IFA treatment should always supplemented with diet rich in iron,
vitamins (particularly Vitamin C), protein, minerals and other
nutrients e.g. green leafy vegetables, whole pulses, jaggery,
meat, poultry and fish, fruits and black gram, groundnuts, ragi,
whole grains, milk, eggs, meat and nuts, etc.
23. Role of ANM and MO
• Detection of anaemia by blood testing for Hb
• Provide IFA tablets to the pregnant women as
per GOI Guidelines
• Treat pregnant women with mild to moderate
anaemia at SC/PHC

supplementation, general myths associated with intake of IFA
tablets, related risk if anaemia not treated, etc
• Dietary counselling of pregnant women (increase intake of iron-rich
foods such as green leafy vegetables, whole pulses, jaggery,
meat, poultry and fish. Advise to take fruits and vegetables
containing vitamin C in diet as these enhance the absorption of iron
in the diet, high protein diet, including items such as black gram,
groundnuts, ragi, whole grains, milk, eggs, meat and nuts, etc.)
• Filling of all the information (Hb level and treatment regime – IFA
supplementation) in MCP cards
• Line listing of severely anaemic pregnant women for tracking of
treatment of anaemia and micro birth planning
25. Role of ASHA
• Preventive IFA supplementation to every pregnant woman
• Identification of anaemic women during pregnancy and
post-partum period through routine and outreach activities
and VHNDs
• Bringing these identified women to institutions for
diagnosis and treatment
• Ensure regular intake of IFA for treatment of anaemia
as advised by ANM/MO/Specialist etc
• Ensure follow-up visits by pregnant women at the
scheduled time to the health facility/VHND/outreach activity
site
• Provide appropriate and supportive care for anaemia
26. Role of ASHA
• Counselling pregnant women on the common side
effects of IFA supplementation, general myths
associated with intake of IFA tablets, related risk if
anaemia not treated, etc
• Dietary counselling of pregnant women (increase
intake of iron-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables,
whole pulses, jaggery, meat, poultry and fish. Advise
to take fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C in diet
as these enhance the absorption of iron in the diet, high
protein diet, including items such as black gram,
groundnuts, ragi, whole grains, milk, eggs, meat and nuts,
etc.)
27. Specific Role of ANM
Refer pregnant women to next higher health
facility that is equipped to manage
complications in pregnancy when:
– ƒHb <8 gm/dl
– ƒThere is poor compliance or intolerance to
oral iron therapy in mild to moderate anaemic
pregnant women
– ƒHb level does not rise in spite of taking treatment
(IFA tablets in the prescribed dose) for a month
28. Specific Role of MO
• All mild and moderate anaemic pregnant women
to be treated at PHC/CHC and severely anaemic
at FRU
• Prepare line list of severely anaemic pregnant
women and submit it to district CMO
• Treatment and follow up of line listed pregnant
women
• Train and orient ANMs and lady health visitors
(LHVs) on the detection and treatment of
anaemia and supervise them
29. Incentives in HPDs regarding Anemia
• Performance Based Incentive for all sub centre ANMs
in the 6 HPDs for identification, line listing of severely
anemic pregnant women and confirmation of Hb
percentage (<7gm %) at PHC/CHC/SDH/DH by MO
• ANMs will be entit;ed to receive an incentive of Rs.100
per case after identification, line listing of severely
anaemic pregnant women and confirmation of Hb
percentage (<7gm%) at BPHC/CHC/SDH/DH by Mo
• ANM should ensure that women gets treatment as per
guidelines and she makes follow up visits for atleast
two consecutive months
