This article reviews the etiology, classification, clinical manifestations, and health consequences of anemia and selected blood diseases. Current evidence highlights iron deficiency as the leading cause of anemia worldwide, while other hematological disorders significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis, appropriate management, and preventive strategies are essential for improving clinical outcomes and reducing the overall burden of blood diseases.
