Anaemia, Vitamin Deficiency Found in Migrant Students in Pune: Maharashtra Health Report

Introduction 

Reports of the blood testing camp organised by the Sahabhaag Welfare Foundation show that around 41% female migrant students from rural Maharashtra are vitamin deficient and have anaemia. The report also revealed that 41% female and 23% male students have low haemoglobin (Hb) count. Haemoglobin (Hb) or complete blood count (CBC) gives a general idea of the health status of a person.

A blood testing camp was conducted by the Sahabhaag Welfare Foundation for migrant students from Pune, Maharashtra. The tests were conducted in February, the findings were published recently. 

“A student on his own requested the HbA1c test and he was found to have type 1 diabetes. Another student requested a TSH test and she was diagnosed as a case of hyperthyroidism. She was treated by a reputed endocrinologist at concessional charges,” the official said.

Blood Testing Camp Reports 

A total of 579 students were tested; of them, 215 were female, and 364 were male. According to the reports, ninety-five female students had a normal reference range, while 120 had one or more parameters out of range. Out of 215, 90 female students were found anaemic. Only 10 had normal Hb with microcytic RBCs and 16 students had normal Hb with macrocytic RBCs.

Out of the 364 male students, 241 had a normal haemoglobin level. However, 123 of them had one or more parameters out of range. Hb between 12 and 14 is considered a ‘severely low’ in haemoglobin levels for males. The blood test report revealed that 47 students had mild anaemia.
