520			_aAbstract: Background: Anemia in the postnatal period is a common problem which has been subject of research recently. Though, it is a common problem, the problem of anemia both pre-partum and postpartum is far more prevalent in developing countries than in the western societies. The conditions for mother and child in the postpartum, nursing, and lactation period should be as favorable as possible. Many young mothers have a troublesome life due to iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) causing a plethora of symptoms including fatigue, physical disability, cognitive problem, and psychiatric disorders. The prevalence of postnatal anemia varies in different parts of the world, which could reflect different etiological factors in different geographical regions. Methodology: This was a retrospective study which was done at Bugando medical centre in Mwanza region involving all women in the postnatal period in C4 ward, admitted from January 2018 to December 2019 with the Hb record. Records which had no information such as Hb levels in the postpartum period will be excluded. Similarly, records that will not have most of information will be discarded. Case files used to collect postnatal women’s information involving 200 samples. Results: Basing on hemoglobin level of anemia, among 200 case files sampled for the study. Respondent 154 (77%) women were found to have no anemia where 31 (15.5%) were found to have mild anemia, 9 (4.5%) with moderate anemia and 6 (3%) were having severe anemia as shown in the table 1.1. postpartum period included no of antenatal visits, history of menorrhagia before conception, antepartum hemorrhage and mode of delivery with p values of 0.01, 0.01, 0.01 and 0.03 respectively, as shown in table 1.2. Conclusion: Due to the high prevalence of postnatal anemia observed in this particular context, the hospital should mobilize additional resources for an optimal and timely management of the patients with postnatal anemia. Low knowledge about postnatal anemia, highlights the needs for adequate ANC as a primary intervention for its prevention.
