Factors associated with malaria in pregnancy among women attending ANC Clinic in Kwadaso Municipality, Ghana: a health facility based cross-sectional study

This study highlights the significant burden of malaria among pregnant women in Kwadaso Municipal. Factors such as age, education levels, and socioeconomic status were identified as key determinants of malaria diagnosis. Additionally, environmental and preventive factors, including insufficient use of insecticide-treated bed nets and proximity to stagnant water, contributed to the likelihood of malaria. The study suggests that the Ghana Health Service and Ministry of Health should improve access to insecticide-treated bed nets, enhance malaria awareness, and integrate regular malaria screening into antenatal care.
