  • "This program explores malnutrition and disease, particularly iron deficiency and anemia, in the African nations of Niger and Tanzania. Anemia is rampant in both countries, in part because of high rates of malaria. Malaria both causes and exacerbates anemia, resulting in a pronounced weakening of the body. Efforts to distribute micromultinutrient pills, particularly to pregnant women, are chronicled."
  • "Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, and less than a third of the population has access to any health care. Malnutrition remains the main cause of maternal and infant mortality, and over half of all pregnant women suffer from iron deficiency anemia. In Tanzania, malaria is blamed for the increase in anemia. UNICEF believes that the solution is providing micromultinutrient pills which contain iron folate and other vitamins. This program follows two traditional birth attendants as they try to persuade women to take iron folate supplements and visit hospitals. It also looks at what could happen when donors pull out of distribution programs."
