The National Nutrition Anemia Prophylaxis Program was launched in 1970 in India to address nutritional anemia, which is common in adolescents, females of reproductive age, and can lead to maternal deaths, premature birth, and low birth weight babies. The program provides iron and folic acid supplementation to under-5 children, school children, adolescents, and lactating mothers depending on their age, to prevent anemia at the primordial level. The role of nurses includes identifying symptoms of anemia, educating about iron-rich foods and personal hygiene, and ensuring appropriate intake of iron supplements while addressing potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues.
