Prevalence of malaria during pregnancy and coverage of intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in urban Amboasary-Sud, Southern Madagascar

Puntos clave

The research aims to evaluate the prevalence of malaria during pregnancy and the coverage of intermittent preventive treatment in Amboasary-Sud.
Assessed IPTp-SP coverage in urban Amboasary-Sud
Analyzed antenatal care attendance rates
Identified geographical barriers affecting service access
Observed that IPTp-SP coverage remains suboptimal
Suggested that enhancing antenatal care could boost treatment uptake
Proposed community-based delivery as a potential solution to access issues

Resumen

IPTp-SP coverage in Amboasary-Sud remains suboptimal despite continuous drug availability. Strengthening ANC attendance and addressing geographical barriers may improve uptake of malaria prevention during pregnancy. Community-based delivery strategies could complement facility-based services in settings with limited access.
