Implication

This observational analysis shows a malaria prevalence of 26.49% in pregnant women, indicating the need for enhanced malaria education programs.

Key Points

  • Malaria prevalence among pregnant women was found to be 26.49%, highlighting a significant health concern.
  • The infection rate was highest in first-trimester pregnancies at 32.03%, emphasizing critical timing in antenatal care.
  • Blood samples were analyzed using Giemsa-stained microscopy across 302 participants in a primary health care center.
  • These findings suggest that increased malaria prevention education could further reduce infection rates in pregnant women.
