This International Nurses Day, Dr. Carolyn Burns offers a perspective most physicians don't: she has been a patient many, many times. "Nurses come with this gift of solace and comfort when you are not at your best, and very often at your worst." #InternationalNursesDay #BloodHealth

"What Nurses Know" is live in My Blood Health. Three expert nurses on what they see, what gets missed, and what every patient deserves to know about their blood health. https://worldanemiaawareness.com/nurses-and-blood-health/ #InternationalNursesDay #BloodHealth

On International Nurses Day, Dr. Matthew Warner names what physicians depend on nurses to make possible. Anemia optimization. Patient education. Daily care. "I'm grateful to call so many great nurses my close colleagues and friends." #InternationalNursesDay #BloodHealth

A powerful takeaway from @natapbm.bsky.social. Prof. Vernon Louw raised the link between iron deficiency and brain health. Iron carries oxygen. The brain uses 20% of the body's supply. Recent research links long-term iron deficiency to higher dementia risk in later life.

Iron deficiency during pregnancy can affect a child's brain development for 20 years or more. Prof. Vernon Louw, Professor of Medicine and Clinical Haematologist at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, on what the evidence shows. https://worldanemiaawareness.com/iron-deficiency-without-anemia/

For those living with hemophilia, a toddler running free is joy and held breath at the same time. Getting the right diagnosis is where care begins. Blood health touches more lives than most people realize. #WHD2026 #WorldHemophiliaDay

Too many women accept exhaustion, brain fog, and low mood as just part of life. Prof. Vernon Louw, Professor of Medicine at Stellenbosch University, South Africa https://worldanemiaawareness.com/iron-deficiency-without-anemia WAA Presents: Voices in Blood Health

Common, testable, and treatable, addressing it before and during pregnancy makes a profound difference for both mother and child. https://worldanemiaawareness.com/iron-deficiency-without-anaemia WAA Presents: Voices in Blood Health

Your blood test came back normal. But you're still exhausted. Prof. Vernon Louw, explains why iron deficiency without anemia is being missed in millions of people — and what it's doing to your cells, your energy, and your mood. https://worldanemiaawareness.com/iron-deficiency-without-anemia/

When did you last check your own iron? Prof. Vernon Louw — Professor of Medicine, Stellenbosch University — on what happens when clinicians finally test their own iron levels. Full film releasing 7 April for World Health Day. WAA Presents: Voices in Blood Health worldanemiaawareness.com

Fit, trained, and still exhausted. For many athletes, low iron is the reason nobody checked for. Normal hemoglobin doesn't rule it out. Ferritin does. https://f.mtr.cool/yxpvugwgqu

On #WorldWaterDay — where women lack safe water, iron deficiency follows. Infections deplete iron stores. Monthly blood loss compounds it. Ferritin tells the story hemoglobin misses. #WaterAndGender #IronDeficiency #Medsky #WomensHealth @un-water.bsky.social @who.int @afro.who.int

Hemoglobin is what most standard tests measure. But ferritin, the protein that stores iron in your body, can be running low long before that shows up. They're related, but they don't always move together. #IronDeficiency #BloodHealth

Your kidneys don't just filter water. They help make your blood. 🩸 They produce EPO, a hormone that signals your bone marrow to make red blood cells. When kidneys struggle, anemia follows. The kidney-blood connection is one worth knowing. 💧 #WorldKidneyDay #BloodHealth #AnemiaAwareness

In the 1920s, a scientist packed her bags and travelled to India to understand why pregnant women were dying. Nobody had thought to ask the question before. This Women's History Month, we're telling her story. 🩸 #WomensHistoryMonth #GiveToGain #IWD2026 #BloodHealth

Did you know iron deficiency may be more common in women with endometriosis than is often recognised — and the symptoms can look remarkably similar? This Endometriosis Awareness Month we're shining a light on a connection that matters to millions of women worldwide.

Blood is an organ. So why don't we treat it like one? Dr. Daniela Filipescu (WFSA President) challenges the centuries-old approach of transfusion-first instead of prevention-first. 30-60% of surgical patients arrive anemic. There's a better way. #WorldAnemiaAwarenessDay youtu.be/IQCOX3ODxCQ

Who are anesthesiologists? 🩺 The invisible guardians in every operating room. The doctors you barely meet—but your life depends on them. When you close your eyes before surgery, an anesthesiologist promises: 'I will take care of you while you are asleep.' #WorldAnemiaAwarenessDay #Anesthesiology

Today is World Anemia Awareness Day. Blood health matters at every stage of life. Yet 50% of people affected remain undiagnosed. Talk to your doctor. Share this message. Raise your hands for blood health. Screening saves lives. #WorldAnemiaAwarenessDay #BloodHealthMatters

Athletes know that peak performance requires more than training. #Bloodhealth, specifically hemoglobin and iron status, directly impacts oxygen transport, energy production, and recovery. #WorldAnemiaAwarenessDay #BloodHealthMatters #AthleticPerformance

Growing strong starts with healthy blood. Childhood is a period of rapid physical and cognitive development, and blood health plays a fundamental role in growth, learning, and immune function. #WorldAnemiaAwarenessDay #BloodHealthMatters #ChildHealth

For young women, adolescence brings changes, including menstruation. But exhaustion, heavy bleeding, or missing school because of your period? That's worth checking. #WorldAnemiaAwarenessDay #BloodHealth #AdolescentHealth

Your body creates nearly 50% more blood to support your growing baby—and that requires more iron, folate, and other essential nutrients. Routine #bloodhealth screening during pregnancy helps healthcare providers support you proactively, ensuring both you and your baby get what you need to thrive.

Before surgery, anesthesiologists assess your #bloodhealth as part of preoperative care. Why? Because knowing your hemoglobin, iron levels, and overall blood status helps surgical teams provide safer care and better outcomes. #WorldAnemiaAwarenessDay #PatientBloodManagement

Will you be there? 🇹🇭 Join us in Thailand on February 4–5 for global education in #patientbloodmanagement — in person or virtually. 🌍 Virtual attendees will have access to live captions in 30+ languages. 🎟️ Tickets & info: buytickets.at/worldanemiaa... #BloodHealth #GlobalHealth #MedicalEducation #PBM

You might not see it, but your blood is working right now, sustaining every heartbeat, enabling every moment. 2 billion people with anemia don't have blood that works this way. Simple tasks become battles for energy. It's an everyday essential everyone deserves. #HumanRightsDay #BloodHealth

DID YOU KNOW? Rewiring our brains to think positively has real physical benefits—but it requires energy our bodies can only provide when properly nourished. November 26 is #IronDeficiencyDay, the perfect time to check your #bloodhealth. 💛 #HealthAwareness #Gratitude #MedSky #HealthEd #PublicHealth

New NICE draft guidance expands TXA use in surgery - a significant step forward for patient blood management. Less blood loss = better outcomes, especially for anemia patients. Public consultation open until Dec 1st. www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ind... #NHS #NICE #MedSky #BloodHealth #MedTwitter

Iron deficiency affects TWO BILLION people in the world but because they’re mostly women and children, almost nobody cares. Had a great time getting on my usual soapbox at a fantastic #SABM25 meeting. And if you don’t know about patient blood management, it’s very cool so check it out.

Exhaustion after birth isn’t always “just being a new mom.” It can be anemia, sometimes mistaken for postpartum depression. 🩸 Moms — ask for a blood test if fatigue feels unusual 💬 Partners & family — remember to ask, “How are you doing?” #BloodHealth #MaternalHealth #PostpartumCare #MentalHealth

All eyes on the baby. But moms matter too. 💙 Postpartum depression and iron deficiency often look alike — exhaustion, brain fog, low mood. Sometimes it’s one, sometimes both. ✨ The good news: both are real, and both are treatable. #BloodHealth #MaternalHealth #PostpartumCare youtu.be/zyj2-kpKeyg

Moms need care too. Exhaustion isn’t always “just tiredness.” Iron deficiency can mimic postpartum depression. Asking for help is strength. And for partners, family, and friends, the most powerful question is simple: 💬“How are you doing?” #MaternalHealth #MentalHealth #WomensHealth #obgynsky #medsky

We pack pajamas, diapers, playlists. 🎶👶 But birth plans often miss the one thing that saves lives: blood health. 🩸 Every mom deserves a plan for herself, not just the baby. #MaternalHealth #BloodHealth #AnemiaAwareness #PBM youtu.be/VHREofVd46U

Many birth emergencies linked to anemia can be prevented with early care. Ask about anemia checks early, and make blood health part of your plan. Early action helps mothers thrive, and helps babies start strong. #MomsBloodHealthMyFuture #MaternalHealth #BloodHealth #WomensHealth

She was fine. Until she wasn’t. A routine birth. A healthy mom. Then a sudden hemorrhage that nearly cost everything. So many of these crises can be prevented. Blood health must be part of every birth plan. #MaternalHealth #BloodHealth #AnemiaAwareness #PBM youtube.com/shorts/S_Bqi...

She was fine. Until she wasn’t. Too many mothers are still lost to preventable crises in pregnancy and childbirth. Awareness and early action saves lives. #MomsBloodHealthMyFuture #MaternalHealth #BloodHealth #PreventableHarm #WomensHealth
