Research Interests
My research interests are in anemia in pregnancy. The current research compares two groups of pregnant mothers, HIV positive and HIV negative groups. The main objective is to study prevalence and associated risk factors in these two groups. The impact of these risk factors on pregnancy outcomes is also being studied.
