Brief Summary  

According to WHO, vitamin A deficiency is a major public health problem and its severe effects are seen in pregnant women and children in low and middle-income countries. Vitamin A deficiency also contributes to maternal mortality and other poor outcomes of pregnancy and lactation. Vitamin A-deficient women and children are highly prone to common infections associated with morbidity and mortality (WHO database, downloaded on September 5, 2022). Although, from 2010 to 2018, there was a decrease in the cases of vitamin A deficiency in India, pregnant and lactating women are still at higher risk of vitamin A deficiency (ICMR 2020 RDA document).
