Abstract: Pregnancy anaemia can cause fetal death, miscarriage, congenital abnormalities, low birth weight, and infant anaemia. According to the WHO, the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy in 2023 reached 37%. An alternative to increase haemoglobin is by consuming green bean extract, which is a micronutrient containing 6.7 mg/100 g of iron. This study aimed to determine the effect of green bean extract on increasing haemoglobin levels in anaemic pregnant women at the Kebaman Health Centre in 2023. This was a quantitative study with a pre-experimental design and a one-group pre-post-test approach. The population consisted of 22 anaemic pregnant women. Total sampling was used with observation sheets and standard operating procedures (SOPs) as instruments. The analysis used the Paired T-Test, and the study passed ethical review. The results from 22 respondents who received 500 ml of green bean extract over 14 days showed an average haemoglobin level of 9.7 g/dl before the intervention, which increased to an average of 10.1 g/dl after the intervention. Based on the results of the Paired T-Test statistical analysis, the p-value was 0.000, and the significance level was
