Bangkok, 1 July 2025– Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is a silent but serious threat to young children’s development, affecting learning, and growth. As part of a broader commitment to early childhood health, Danone Thailand collaborated with public sector partners—including the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), its Health Department, Health Centres, and Child Development Centres—as well as Rattanakosin 9 School and the Bangplee Industrial Estate Office in Samut Prakarn. Together, they delivered free IDA screenings, nutrition education, and playful learning activities to over 250 children and their families. These efforts were part of Danone Day, a global initiative where Danoners engage directly with communities to listen, learn, and give back.

This builds on Danone Thailand’s long-standing commitment to tackling IDA through research support, healthcare professional education, public awareness campaigns, and collaboration with government bodies like the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). In addition, Danone has recently partnered with leading retail chains such as Big C, Lotus’s, CJ, and PY Kijsiri to expand nationwide access to free, non-invasive IDA screenings—bringing early detection closer to families in their everyday environments.
