Pregnant women are the most vulnerable groups to anemia. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of anemia and associated factors among women attending antenatal care at Songwe Regional Referral Hospital.<br/><br/>Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at Songwe Regional Hospital among pregnant women attending antenatal care in September 2021. Convenient sampling was used to select participants and data was collected using structured questionnaires.
