We take great pleasure in inviting you to the Fifth Conference on Iron Deficiency.
Iron deficiency is a world wide problem affecting about 2 billion people. In India, 20% of adult males, 40% of children, 60% of adult females and 80% of pregnant females have iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency causes not only anemia but also leads to dysfunction of every organ system in the body. It has a major impact on the health and social fabric of the population. Unlike many other medical problems, iron deficiency is easy to correct and we also have means in the form of food fortification to prevent it. However, there is lack of awareness about the problem and its wide range of consequences. It is not uncommon for many to ignore Hb level of 11.0 or even 10.0 g/dl.
It is necessary to create awareness amongst family physicians, obstetricians, pediatricians, internists, public health authorities, food industry and NGOs. That is exactly what is aimed at in this conference- focus on various problems related to iron deficiency and suggest feasible solutions to reduce the burden of iron deficiency.
