November 2, 2026 – Nutrition and Global Health Monthly Seminar
Dr. Emily R. Smith will present findings from the Redefining Anemia in Pregnancy & Postpartum (ReMAPP) study, an international multicenter cohort study investigating anemia during pregnancy and postpartum. Drawing on data from Ghana, Zambia, Kenya, India, and Pakistan, the presentation will examine the contributing factors of anemia and recommend that WHO revise hemoglobin thresholds that better identify adverse maternal, fetal, and newborn health outcomes. The findings highlight opportunities to strengthen the identification and understanding of anemia in pregnancy and inform public health prioritization and clinical practice.
Speakers’ remarks are based on their own scholarship and experience. As such, they speak for themselves, not for Harvard.
