Observational study shows 21.66% malaria prevalence among pregnant women, indicating significant health risks.

A prevalence of 21.66% for malaria was found among 300 pregnant women, indicating a critical health concern.
The highest malaria prevalence was 35.0% in first-time pregnancies aged 26-30 years, underlining the risk in younger mothers.
Hematological analysis indicated moderate reductions in haemoglobin and PCV, particularly in women during second and third trimesters.
The study suggests a need for public health initiatives to promote malaria prophylaxis among pregnant women.

Isomah et al. (2025) studied this question.
