Anaemia Treatment in Johor Bahru

Anemia

Anaemia — characterised by insufficient healthy red blood cells — is widespread in Malaysia, particularly among women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and vegetarians. Iron deficiency is the most common cause, but thalassemia trait (common in Southeast Asia) and B12 deficiency also contribute. Untreated anaemia causes persistent fatigue and can affect heart health.
