Overview

Cross-sectional analysis assesses IPTp adherence among pregnant women, highlighting the role of malaria knowledge and antenatal care.

Key Points

  • IPTp uptake was 62.55% among women surveyed, indicating significant coverage gaps compared to WHO targets.
  • Age, marital status, and knowledge of malaria were key factors influencing the uptake of IPTp among participants.
  • Assessment used logistic regression to identify predictors of IPTp adherence in pregnant women in Cameroon.
  • Improving antenatal care attendance and malaria education is crucial to increasing IPTp uptake and maternal health.
