Managing Anaemia in Pregnancy with Traditional Medicines: Experiences of women in the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana

2026Open accessNorth-West University

Abstract

The women in this study perceived that traditional medicines could help manage AIPs, although they also reported concerns about adverse effects following use. Given the widespread accessibility of these remedies, further research is needed to clarify their safety, potential benefits, and appropriate use. Rather than outright discouragement, efforts should focus on strengthening supervised care and referral pathways.
