Objective: Study the epidemiological, clinical, para-clinical and therapeutic aspects as well as the maternal and perinatal prognosis of anemia in partu-rients. Background: Anemia is a public health problem in Burkina Faso. It mainly affects pregnant women. Patients and Methods: This was a descrip-tive and analytical cross-sectional study with prospective data collected from January 1st to September 30th, 2021. The study population included all par-turients received within the department. Results: We included 378 partu-rients. We included in our study, all the parturients who underwent blood count upon admission and who had a hemoglobin rate below 11 g/dl. The frequency of anemia was 35.9%. The average age of anemic parturients was 27 ± 6.3 years. Compliance with anemia preventive treatment was good in 63% of cases. Out of the 378 anemic parturients, 55.8% were delivered by cesarean section. At delivery, 21 stillbirths were recorded. The mean hemoglobin level on admission was 9.27 g/dl ± 1.6. Normochromic microcytic anemia was present in 50.7% of cases. We recorded 1 case of maternal death (0.2%). The perinatal mortality rate was 7.4%. Conclusion: Despite the government’s ef-forts, anemia in pregnant women remains a public health problem in our country. This reality calls on decision-makers to lay emphasis on measures to prevent anemia in pregnant women.
