Results: Out of 113 pregnant women divided into two groups, in group one, 30 pregnant women had haemoglobin concentration of 5gm% and group two, 83 pregnant women had haemoglobin concentration between 5.1 to 7gm^%. The duration of pregnancy anemia detection were non significance (p = < 0 xss=removed> Conclusions: The higher rates of mortality were detected in lower haemoglobin level group, which shows high risk mortality in pregnant women with low level of blood.
