Strengthening Malaria Prevention Strategies Among Pregnant Women
Malaria in pregnancy remains a major public health challenge, particularly in endemic regions, where it contributes significantly to maternal anemia, low birth weight, and increased neonatal mortality. Despite the availability of effective preventive interventions, gaps persist in the consistent uptake of these services among pregnant women. Addressing these gaps is critical to improving maternal and child health outcomes.
Join us for an engaging session in the ALAMIME Alumni Webinar Series as we explore strategies for strengthening malaria prevention among pregnant women. This webinar will highlight evidence-based approaches to improving the uptake of key interventions such as intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp), use of insecticide-treated nets, and early antenatal care attendance.
The session will also examine the role of health systems, community engagement, and supply chain management in ensuring access to and sustained use of malaria prevention tools. Participants will gain practical insights into how policies and programmatic strategies can be optimized to better protect pregnant women from malaria.
This webinar is particularly relevant for malaria program managers, maternal and child health specialists, researchers, policymakers, and public health professionals committed to reducing the burden of malaria in pregnancy.
