In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), poverty, malnutrition, and limited healthcare infrastructure persist, and childhood anemia remains a critical public health issue. Using data from the 2013-2014 Demographic and Health Survey, this study examines how nursing assistance affects anemia among children under 5 years old. Using insights from medical and nutritional interventions, we analyze the extent to which social engagement mitigates pediatric anemia. Propensity score matching was used to estimate the treatment effect of nursing support for mothers on child health outcomes. The results show that children whose mothers received nursing assistance were 7.2% less likely to be anemic. Moreover, micronutrient supplementation and food-based interventions (including tubers and meat) combined with nursing assistance were significantly associated with a reduced prevalence of anemia. Because food-based interventions are less dependent on industrial supply chains, they are encouraged in resource-limited settings. Given the shortage of health professionals in the DRC, establishing a local healthcare capacity with nurses and community health workers could help reduce the prevalence of childhood anemia. Strengthening local health systems, combined with supplementation and a nutritious diet, may be effective in improving child health and supporting long-term human capital development in resource-constrained settings such as the DRC.
