Individual- and community-level correlates of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy in Ghana: further analysis of the 2019 Malaria Indicator Survey
Few regions (Upper East and West) are doing better than the capital, Greater Accra Region, in terms of optimal uptake. Also, early scheduling of ANC in the first trimester and increased ANC attendance are key for increased uptake. There is a need for policy, interventions, and research on malaria prevention in pregnancy to improve the decline in uptake.
