Résumé :

Intermittent preventive therapy during pregnancy with Sulphadoxine Pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) is one of the potent strategies for preventing malaria in pregnancy (MiP). Factors such as the pregnant woman’s knowledge and very importantly perception or belief about IPTp-SP remains key determinant of IPTp-SP uptake. This study assessed the knowledge and perception of nursing mothers and their uptake of IPTp-SP during pregnancy in the Ho Teaching Hospital. We administered a close-ended questionnaire to 303 nursing mothers and obtained their sociodemographic details as well as information on their kno

Résumé :

A significant gap exists between high rates of antenatal care attendance and low uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) in Senegal. This study aims to investigate whether IPTp-SP is delivered per Senegal’s national guidelines and to identify factors affecting the delivery of IPTp-SP at antenatal care visits. A secondary analysis was conducted using the 2014 and 2016 Senegal’s Service Provision Assessment. The study sample consists of 1076 antenatal care across 369 health facilities.

Résumé :

Malaria infection during pregnancy is a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that gestational and congenital malaria can be prevented by using intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP). IPTp-SP is a full therapeutic course of antimalarial medicine administered during pregnancy as a component of antenatal care.

Pregnancy-associated malaria is preventable and curable with intermittent preventive treatment with Sulfodoxine-Pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP). However, despite the effectiveness of IPTp-SP against malaria in pregnancy, the uptake among pregnant women in Nigeria remains very low.

Introduction Malaria still remains a global health issue. In response, the World Health Organisation has continuously recommended the use of Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (SP) for Intermittent Preventive Treatment of Malaria in Pregnancy (IPTp) as a malaria preventive measure for the mother and fetus, which has been implemented by the Ugandan government. In collaboration with partners, the government has created awareness of using SP for IPTp (SP-IPTp) among women mainly through media.

Résumé :

IntroductionMalaria in pregnancy is a major driver of maternal and infant mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. The WHO recommends the administration of intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) at antenatal care (ANC) visits. Despite being a highly cost-effective strategy, IPTp-SP coverage and uptake remains low. A pilot project was conducted to assess the cost-effectiveness (CE) of community-based delivery of IPTp (C-IPTp) in addition to ANC delivery to increase IPTp uptake in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar (MDG), Mozambique (MOZ) and Nigeria (

<strong>Background: </strong>Pregnant women are a high-risk group for <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> infections, which may result in maternal anaemia and low birth weight newborns, among other adverse birth outcomes. Intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine during pregnancy (IPTp-SP) is widely implemented to prevent these negative effects of malaria. However, resistance against SP by <i>P. falciparum</i> may decrease efficacy of IPTp-SP. Combinations of point mutations in the <i>dhps</i> (codons A437, K540) and <i>dhfr</i> genes (codons N51, C59, S108) of <i>P. falciparum

Background. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of Insecticide Treated Bed-Nets and Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPT) with Sulphadoxine-Pyrimethamine (SP) as interventions in curbing malaria during pregnancy. However, increasing evidence shows a gap in coverage where not all pregnant women receive the recommended SP dose. This study evaluated the factors influencing uptake of IPTp-SP among pregnant women in Kumasi, Ghana. Methodology.

Background. In 2005, Nigeria changed its policy on prevention of malaria in pregnancy to intermittent preventive treatment with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP). Indicators of impact of effective prevention and control of malaria on pregnancy (MIP) are low birth weight (LBW) and maternal anaemia by parity. This study determined the prevalence of LBW for different gravidity groups during periods of pre- and postpolicy change to IPTp-SP. Methods. Eleven-year data were abstracted from the delivery registers of two hospitals. Study outcomes calculated for both pre- (2000–2004) and post-IPTp-SP

Background: Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Africa is the home to over 90% of malaria burden when compared to other regions of the world. The region is estimated to have a dominance of 94% of maternal deaths occurring in the world. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with the uptake of IPTp-SP among pregnant women in Tanzania. Method: The study used data from the 2015-16 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey and Malaria Indicators Survey (2015-16 TDHS-MIS).

Malaria in pregnancy remains a critical public health issue in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Uganda, where adherence to intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) is persistently low. Poor adherence contributes to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, necessitating innovative solutions to enhance antimalarial prophylaxis. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions, such as SMS and voice call reminders, have emerged as promising tools to support treatment adherence in low-resource settings.
