Addressing maternal anaemia and improving adolescent nutrition are essential to achieving global goals for maternal and newborn health. This 3.5‑hour satellite session brings together explores evidence‑based strategies across three interconnected themes: anaemia in pregnancy, intravenous (IV) iron, and adolescent nutrition, with a focus on anaemia.
The session begins with a deep dive into the global burden of anaemia in pregnancy, its complex aetiology, building national plans, and new evidence from the ReMAPP study. The second panel examines the role of IV iron as a rapid and effective treatment option, drawing on global guidance and a real‑world implementation experience. The third panel looks to adolescence, a neglected life stage with great potential for intergenerational impact, highlighting evidence, multisectoral approaches, and an effective platform to reach adolescents across Nigeria, Kenya, and Ethiopia with sexual, reproductive health services, including ANC for pregnant adolescents that can be learned from.
Collectively, these panels link adolescents, pregnant women, and newborns, providing implementers with practical insights, innovative tools, and policy directions to accelerate intergenerational progress. The session prioritizes voices from LMICs and emphasizes feasible, context‑driven solutions to improve health outcomes.
