Anaemia become a major health problem among under five children, it appears to reach about 293.1 million (approximately 43%) of under-five children worldwide where as 28.5% of this are from the Sub-Saharan Countries.<br/><br/>Objectives: To determine factors associated with anemia among under five children hospitalized at BMC Mwanza Tanzania, to determine the treatment approach used to treat anaemia among under five children hospitalized at BMC Mwanza Tanzania. <br/><br/>Methodology: The prospective study conducted at Bugando Medical Centre located in Mwanza Tanzania involving under five children diagnosed with anaemia hospitalized at the hospital.<br/><br/>Results: Total of 270 sample collected and studied, 162 (60%) children among all had diarrhoea, 99(36.7%) children had worms past two weeks, 138(51.1%) children currently having malaria, 164(60.7%) children among all were continuing receiving vaccination while others were already completed, 92(34.1%) weaned before six months while 125(46.3%) weaned after six months and 53(19.6%) were still breast feeding. 156(57.8%) children were all breast feeding while 114(42.2%) children were not in breast feeding, 219(81.1%) children born in hospital while 51(18.9%) children were born at home. In case of Primary Care giver education level 44(16.3%) were informal, 131(48.5%) were primary level, 78(28.9%) were completed secondary level, 17(6.3%) completed college or university level. Children there were 138(51.1%) children whose father were peasant, 60(22.2%) whose father were civil servant, 32(11.9%) whose father were self-employed and 39(14.4%) whose father were working in other different sites.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Based on the finding above revealed that factors associated with anaemia for children under five are diarrhoea, having current malaria, sufficient breast feeding and primary care giver education level. Thus I recommend for each family to prevent all associated factors to anaemia. My advice to parents proper handling their child by place the to health facility when the encounter any health problems such diarrhea sign of anaemia and proper immunization.<br/> |
