Prevalence and associated factors of malaria among pregnant women in Maraki Health Center, North West, Gondar, Ethiopia
The prevalence of malaria among pregnant women in the study area was considerable. Behavioral and environmental factors significantly contributed to malaria risk. Strengthening Insecticide-Treated Net (ITN) distribution, ensuring Intermittent Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy with Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP uptake), promoting regular ANC attendance, improving environmental sanitation, and increasing malaria prevention education, particularly during the rainy season, are recommended to reduce the burden of malaria in pregnancy.
