A trial was made to combat anaemia among primary school children in Atris village, Giza governorate. Blood haemoglobin concentration and haematocrite value were analysed for the children in all classes. Those who showed a haemoglobin concentration 11.5g.% were considered anaemic. The anaemic children were given a highly bioavailable iron preparation in the form of a solution that supply about double the daily requirement of iron. The improvement realized after iron therapy was followed up till the child become normal. We recommended that a national program for combating anaemia in all governorates should be implemented on this same model radicate the problem:
