Summary: The most common nutritional deficiency in the world, iron deficiency is a severe health problem that affects more than 3.5 billion people around the world - causing a range of problems, from extreme lethargy to low birth weight, stunting, maternal mortality and loss of productivity on a national scale. More than half the population of Middle Eastern countries are iron-deficient - yet fortifying flour with iron costs just US$2 per person, per lifetime. This programme looks at progress on introducing fortified flour in Egypt and Yemen, two of the worst affected countries. |
