The Foundation considered that comprehensive review on nutritional anemia is timely and pertinent in Indonesia. Nutritional anemia and stunting may overlap significantly, and nutritional anemia is strongly related with infectious diseases, which are important determinant of stunting in developing countries like Indonesia. Together with Scientific Members, we started the review process of nutritional anemia, titled ‘Intersectoral and eco-nutritional approaches to resolve persistent anemia in Indonesia: revisiting its complexities for the future policy and strategic actions in Indonesia’.
