摘要：
This is a cross sectional study done in an urban health centre on pregnant mothers who attend their antenatal clinic. To estimate the prevalence of knowledge on anaemia among pregnant mothers. A predesigned pretested profoma was used and data collected through a face to face interview method. Data's were analysed through SPSS version 17 software. The prevalence of knowledge about anaemia is 19.3% (52). The study participant had a very poor level of knowledge about anaemia. Improvement in the knowledge level among the most vulnerable group is very important to decrease the prevalence of anaemia among the community.
