Dear Dick,
Thank you for the summary. Maternal nutrition and anaemia in pregnancy is a strong focus for our first project, especially in humanitarian settings like South Sudan, where I work. Pumpkin and moringa leaves are cheap and familiar to many communities, so I would be interested to see the evidence on how well they work.
I suggest we compare them with standard iron and folic acid supplements, and include food taboos and acceptability in the survey of current use.
I would be happy to help with the literature search or the survey questions.
Best wishes,
Nyuon Diang Gatwech
