Anaemia is a condition in which there is low level of haemoglobin in blood either because
there are few red blood cells and/or little haemoglobin in each cell. There are many different types of anaemia but iron deficiency is the most common type. Iron deficiency anaemia is one of the most prevalent nutritional disorders worldwide. It is estimated that around 2.15 billion individuals suffer from iron deficiency anaemia, according to the World Health Organisation.
