Bridging urban-rural disparities in malaria care during pregnancy in Senegal: evidence from household and health facility surveys
Linking household and health facility surveys revealed significant room for improvement in malaria service readiness and IPTp-SP utilization in rural areas in Senegal. For better IPTp-SP coverage, differential strategies are required for urban and rural settings. Urban areas need to enhance malaria service readiness, while rural areas should focus on improving service readiness alongside infrastructure and community engagement to bridge the urban-rural disparities.
