Community health workers can help to fill the gap in malaria prevention for pregnant women
Through this programme, trained CHWs go door-to-door, encouraging pregnant women to attend their antenatal care appointments at the closest health centre, where staff not only monitor the health of the mother and fetus but can also deliver the first dose of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, a medicine given after the first trimester to prevent malaria in pregnancy.
