Dietary intake program for anaemia patients: a social innovation project

A common disease, called anaemia, has always been neglected by society. Most people are not aware of how bad this situation can be, especially about the suitable food for anaemic patients. In fact, there are roughly a million deaths per year of anaemia patients worldwide. Lack of awareness regarding this issue among people nowadays should cease to bring more attention to anaemia patients. Thus, it has led to the implementation of the video project titled “Dietary Intake for Anaemic Patients”. The objective of this program is to create a campaign to increase awareness among people in having a wise management of diet for anaemia patients. A production of an informative video was used for this project. This video discusses the objective of this program, the potential of this video, causes of anaemia, symptoms, and the healthy diet that is good for anaemic patients. Five students of Centre of Foundation Studies, UiTM, have been interviewed to ask them regarding the effectiveness of the video. Also, the main target audiences are children, pregnant women and people who suffer from chronic diseases as they are most likely to get anaemia. In conclusion, suffering from anaemia is not an issue that can be taken lightly by everyone in this world, instead, people should be concerned about this matter.
