The Global Perspective

Today, 13 February, is World Anaemia Day - a reminder that anaemia remains one of the most widespread health conditions globally.

According to the World Health Organization, anaemia affects billions of people worldwide, particularly women and children. It is often referred to as a “silent epidemic” - not because it is rare, but because it is normalised, overlooked, and underdiagnosed.

Fatigue is dismissed. Brain fog is blamed on stress. Poor concentration is written off as burnout. Yet iron deficiency and anaemia continue to impact productivity, maternal health, childhood development, and quality of life on a massive scale.

Anaemia is not just a number on a lab report. It is a public health issue - and awareness is the first step toward change.

The Importance of Testing & Recognising Symptoms

Anaemia doesn’t appear overnight - and it rarely starts with dramatic symptoms.

Iron deficiency often develops gradually, with signs that are easy to ignore:
• Persistent fatigue
• Brain fog or poor concentration
• Headaches
• Shortness of breath
• Hair thinning
• Reduced exercise tolerance

Many patients are told their bloods are “normal” because only haemoglobin was checked. But iron depletion begins long before anaemia is diagnosed. Ferritin, your iron stores, is often the missing piece.

On this World Anaemia Day, the message is simple: if symptoms persist, test properly. Ask for comprehensive iron studies, not just a basic haemoglobin level.

Early detection makes correction easier and recovery faster.

Ferritin is one of the most important iron markers - and one of the most misunderstood. 🩸

While haemoglobin shows how your body is functioning today, ferritin tells us how well you’re set up for the weeks and months ahead. Low ferritin can quietly drive fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, low mood, and poor exercise tolerance long before anaemia is diagnosed.

With World Anaemia Day coming up on Friday, 13 February, it’s the perfect time to look beyond “normal bloods” and start asking for the full picture. Awareness starts with understanding - and knowing your ferritin level can be a powerful first step toward better energy, clarity, and wellbeing

Your health doesn’t need panic, pressure, or perfection, it needs planning. 🩺✨

2026 is the year to move from reactive care to real accountability. Preventative health checks aren’t about looking for problems; they’re about protecting your future self with informed, evidence-based decisions. Regular screenings and comprehensive blood work (including iron studies) allow issues to be identified early - often long before symptoms appear.

Think of this as maintenance, not fear-driven medicine. When you know your numbers, understand your risks, and work with qualified healthcare professionals, you give yourself the best chance at long-term health, energy, and quality of life.

Early detection doesn’t just save time and stress - it saves health, and sometimes lives.

Back to school isn’t just about stationery and schedules - it’s about setting kids up to learn, focus, and thrive. 📚🧠

Iron plays a critical role in energy, concentration, memory, and emotional regulation, yet iron deficiency is incredibly common in school-going children and teens. When iron levels are low, fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and poor attention can quickly undermine learning and confidence in the classroom.

As the school year begins, consider adding iron checks to your back-to-school health list. Early testing and correction can make a meaningful difference to academic performance, mood, and overall wellbeing - helping children start the year feeling energised, focused, and ready to learn.
