Facilitators and barriers of malaria prevention and treatment services to pregnant women in Ethiopia: a multi-level health system analysis, 2025
While Ethiopia demonstrates progress towards maternal services through decentralization of diagnostic services, increased antenatal care contact time, and community engagement. Persistent challenges in resource allocation, staffing, disintegrated service delivery and data surveillance hinder malaria care for pregnant women. Strengthening supply chains, adopting "one-stop-shop" ANC models, and piloting IPTp are essential. Improving digital surveillance with pregnancy-specific indicators and routine screening can guide equitable, evidence-based responses.
