Determinants of uptake of deworming medication during pregnancy in Tanzania: insights from 2022 demographic and health survey

In Tanzania, deworming medication uptake among pregnant women remains suboptimal. Determinants of higher uptake included age 25-34 years, southern residence, employment, wealth, insurance coverage, high parity, attending at least four ANC visits, and regular media exposure, while rural residence was associated with lower uptake. ANC programmes should prioritize equitable access and implement tailored strategies to improve coverage, particularly among rural and underserved women.
