“…Following these seminal contributions, several papers have exploited the same strategy to study e.g. cognitive skills in Mexico (Venkataramani, 2010) and anemia in Africa (Apouey et al, 2017). Importantly for us, two recent working papers examine the impact on infant mortality and fertility in Africa (Kuecken et al, 2017;Wilde et al, 2017).…”

Has massive distribution of insecticide-treated-nets contributed to the reduction in infant mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa over the past 15 years? Using large household surveys collected in 16 countries and exploiting the spatial correlation in distribution campaigns, we estimate the relationship between the diffusion of bednets and the progress in child survival. We find no evidence of a causal link in cities, and no impact either in rural areas with low malaria prevalence. By contrast, in highly malarious rural areas where bednet coverage reached high levels, above 75% of households, infant mortality has been reduced by at least 3 percentage points, which amounts to 25% of the initial mortality. The identified impact is even higher for the children of mothers with no education. It lies at the upper bound found with RCTs, most likely because those were implemented in contexts with lower mortality and/or malaria prevalence.

“…Avec cette prévalence élevée et selon le seuil définit par l'OMS qui est de 40% (McLean et al, 2007), l'anémie demeure un problème de santé publique sévère au Bénin. La fréquence toujours élevée de l'anémie laisse suggérer un échec des programmes mis en oeuvre pour son éradication tels que le programme de distribution de moustiquaire (Apouey et al, 2016) et celui de l' approche intégrée pour un contrôle efficace de l anémie (OMS/UNICEF, 2005). Une des raisons clés de l'échec de ces programmes est que beaucoup ont été conçus selon l'hypothèse que la seule cause d'anémie était la carence en fer (Badham, 2007).…”

Objectives: The present work aims at studying malnutrition and anemia in children under 5 years of age received in consultation and / or hospitalized at the pediatric ward of Abomey-Calavi / So-Ava Zone Hospital in the Department of the Atlantic in southern Benin. Methods and Results : The study is carried out on 301 children received in consultation and / or hospitalized and their mothers are subjected to a questionnaire elaborated for this purpose. Anthropometric indices were calculated using the WHO Anthro® software. Biological data were collected from the children's files. 25.25% of the children were emaciated, 24.25% were stunted and 31.89% were underweight. In addition, 56.48% of children suffered from anemia. Of these, 30% had severe anemia, 13.53% had moderate anemia, and 56.47% had mild anemia. 58.83% of children have normochromic anemia and 72.94% have microcytic anemia. The main cause of the identified anemia is iron deficiency due to an insufficient dietary intake of iron and / or a loss of iron by the body caused by parasitic infections (malaria, intestinal worms) and bacterial infections. Conclusion and Applications of the results : It emerges from this study that malnutrition (in its various forms) and nutritional anemia remain a public health problem among the child population of the Commune of Abomey-Calavi. It is then necessary to reinforce the sensitization sessions and a nutritional education of the population on the good habits of food and hygienic. A policy favoring iron supplementation, and malaria control and deworming reduction systematic reduction of children would reduce the incidence of anemia

“…Roughly half of these cases are attributable to a lack of adequate iron status [2]. The prevalence of iron de ciency anaemia remains high in Africa, with an overall incidence of 64.6% in children, 55.8% among pregnant women and 44.4% among young girls [3]. Iron de ciency anaemia is associated with as many as 115,000 maternal deaths and a little over half a million perinatal deaths.…”

Iron deficiency anemia is a problem of serious public health significance. The formulation of herbal drinks becomes common as people tend to combat anemia by drinks made from available plants. In Cameroon, drinks from E. speciosa leaves are consumed during the treatment of anemia. This study aims to optimize the iron extraction from E. speciosa leaves and to assess its potency againts iron deficiency anemia. The leaves of E. speciosa were dried at 50°C, grinded and sieved. E. speciosa drink was obtained after extraction of the powdered leaves using a Central Composite Design of 4 factors (temperature, time, pH and ratio solid/liquid (w/v)). Different volumes (1, 2 or 4mL/kg) of E. speciosa drink produced at the optimized condition was administrated for 2 weeks to anemic-induced rats. The Composite desirability showed that the optimum extraction conditions were at temperature 20°C, time 50 min, pH 11 and solid/liquid ratio 15g/L. A volume of 1mL/kg of E. speciosa drink was able to restore the red blood cells counts and the hemoglobin levels to normal after 2 weeks of consumption while when consuming 2 or 4 mL/kg of E. speciosa drink, anemia was alleviated in 1 week. The drink of E. speciosa produced under this optimal extraction condition is an iron-rich drink and demonstrates a potent antianemic potential.
