Anemia is a widespread public health concern in Thailand, affecting 37% of non-pregnant and 31.2% of pregnant women of reproductive age, mirroring global statistics.
The Department of Health launched the "Natural Rosy Cheeks" project to combat anemia, providing iron and folic acid supplements through the Universal Health Scheme to infants, children, and women of reproductive age.
Thailand aims to reduce anemia among women of reproductive age to 12.4% by 2030, collaborating with 77 companies to promote healthy diets, provide supplements, and encourage annual health screenings for workers.
Efforts are underway to expand and improve access to iron and folic acid supplements for women aged 13-45 via the NHSO, with plans to standardize services across all government health security funds and promote iron-rich diets.
