We are proud to highlight Dr. Parminder Suchdev, lead author of the newly launched Lancet Haematology Commission on Anaemia.
Anaemia affects 1.9 billion people worldwide, especially children, adolescent girls, and women. Despite longstanding interventions, most countries remain off track to meet global reduction targets, and cuts in health funding further threaten progress.
The Commission, co-authored by Dr. Suchdev, calls for renewed global action by improving data systems, advancing research on nutrition and infection, strengthening governance, and proposing a new evidence-based framework for country-specific targets.
This work provides a bold roadmap to reduce the global burden of anaemia and reflects REACH’s mission to advance child and adolescent health through impactful, collaborative research.
