 The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in the Bahia region of Tanzania is 25.5 percent, which falls into the moderate range of public health problems according to the World Health Organization's classification.

Special attention should be given to these groups of pregnant women and interventions that integrate health and nutrition education in reproductive and child health clinics are needed to combat anemia.
