Anemia is a condition where there is a reduction in red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood circulation or hemoglobin mass so that they are unable to fulfill their function as a carrier of oxygen throughout the tissues. Anemia in pregnancy is caused by iron deficiency, reaching approximately 95%. Globally, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women throughout the world is 41.8%. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Asia is estimated at 48.2%, Africa 57.1%, America 24.1% and Europe 25.1%. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia is 70% and the prevalence of anemia in South Kalimantan is 10.9%.
