Cost-effectiveness of intermittent preventive therapy and insecticide-treated bed nets for malaria prevention among pregnant women in Jos North, Plateau State, Nigeria
This study demonstrates that IPTp-SP/ITN is a cost-effective intervention for preventing malaria during pregnancy. However, its cost-effectiveness is influenced by integration into ANC services, adherence to ITN use, and funding mechanisms. Policymakers should consider optimizing funding and service delivery models to improve intervention efficiency and sustainability. Further research incorporating household-level costs and long-term economic impacts is recommended.
