PUBLICATION: ANEMIA DETECTION IN HEALTH SERVICES:
GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAM MANAGERS
These guidelines are a useful tool for health care program managers in
developing countries. The guidelines are intended to help managers
determine appropriate anemia detection methods for incorporation into
their services or to enhance existing services. They include a general
overview of the programmatic issues of anemia screening to provide a
context for method choice and a description of the commonly used
anemia detection devices and methods. The guidelines were produced
by the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH) under the
USAID-
supported HealthTech project. PATH is a partner in Opportunities for
Micronutrient Interventions Project (OMNI) .
