Objectives: Iron deficiency anemia is the most common hematological but manageable health problem
encountered among the pregnant women globally but more common in developing countries like India.
Methods: It is interventional prospective comparative study conducted in Department of Obstetrics and
Gynaecology at Santosh Medical College over a period of 9 months from September 2023- April 2024. 100
