For a decade, scientists from icddr_b and WEHI have collaborated to tackle anaemia in Bangladesh.
Dr Imrul Hasan and Dr Eliza Davidson are working across continents on a clinical trial to improve the health of girls and women.

Global efforts to reduce anaemia are stalling & political decisions risk progress.
A new Commission aims to address gaps in evidence, implementation, governance, & target-setting to reinvigorate efforts in anaemia control.

Study by WEHI researchers shows how the body boosts iron in pregnancy to aid blood & baby growth.
The body lowers hepcidin, the key iron regulator, with help from the Tmprss6 gene. Disruptions could impact foetal growth.

A study has found a single iron infusion can significantly reduce anaemia in pregnancy, compared to iron tablets – the currently recommended treatment.
The milestone findings, co-led by @srpasricha and @kamija_phiri are published in @NatureMedicine

Intravenous iron given in the second trimester of pregnancy impacts on anaemia and iron-deficiency all the way up to 6-12 months postpartum! Another stellar collaboration between @WEHI_research and @TRUECOM1 - The Lancet Global Health thelancet.com/journals/langl…

🌍 Anaemia is a preventable yet widespread health issue in low-income regions, especially among pregnant women and young children.
Our clinical trials in Bangladesh & Malawi are focused on finding new solutions to improve maternal and child health.

Very proud of all our superstar colleagues @wehi_research on being awarded @nhmrc grants today... an outstanding outcome! Especially pleased for our very own @Cavanbennett who will be discovering new therapies for #myeloproliferative neoplasms and various #iron disorders.
Massive congratulations to all the recipients of @NHMRC Investigator Grants, including our 17 remarkable researchers who are leading innovative projects covering malaria, blood cancer, the ubiquitin system, Parkinson's disease, brain cancer and beyond.

Throughout the past month, Muslims in Australia have been observing Ramadan. Today marks the commencement of Eid al-Fitr, a three-day celebration marking the conclusion of Ramadan.
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating!

The way #anaemia is diagnosed worldwide could change for the first time in 50 years after a landmark WEHI study 👏
The findings have led to the @WHO revising its guidelines for the condition, which affects millions of people globally.
