Compliance with IFAS and Associated Factors Among PW in SSA

Anemia is one of the world's leading cause of disability and the most serious global public health issue. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted very carefully in order to give up the pooled compliance of Iron and Folic-Acid Supplementation in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our finding from this systematic review and meta-analysis shows the low case in the prevalence of compliance to IFAS among pregnant women in SSA. Predictors for this includes knowledge about anemia, knowledge about IFAS, counselling on IFAS and receiving fourth antenatal care visit were statistically correlated positively with compliance to IFAS. This demands careful appraisal of the effect of prevention work for functioning policy, programs and plan nutrition intrusions for refining maternal dietary intake in gestation. Also, dietary education intrusion requires to be planned to satisfy the needs of pregnant women. So we hope that the result of this study might be essential as a bridging stone for policymakers of Africa; exclusively for maternal and child health care. Finally, we recommended further studies to be conducted in the area of the study for more intensive and detailed suggestions.
