Armada de Hierro is an initiative promoted by the National Fisheries Society, which aims to help to reduce anemia rates in children under 3 years of age. At Austral, we carry out this initiative with community members in our area of influence and with the sons and daughters of our employees and workers.
Both groups participate in screening days, where children are evaluated based on their hemoglobin levels. The identified anemia cases receive 6 months of nutritional follow-up, including medical consultations, demonstrative cooking workshops, and talks for parents, with the aim of reversing their initial anemia diagnosis.
