I Dispelled Myths About Anemia: More Than Just Iron Deficiency I
As part of our educational outreach, our faculty addressed a common misconception about anemia-namely, that it
is caused solely by iron deficiency. In reality, anemia can arise from various factors, including vitamin B 12
deficiency, chronic diseases, and genetic conditions. An awareness flyer developed by our students focused on
permc1ous anemia. The flyer provides insights into its symptoms, causes, and prevention strategies, aiming to
enhance public understanding and promote early diagnosis through increased awareness.
