Improving the uptake of third dose of Intermittent Preventive Treatment of Malaria Amongst Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care Clinic at Keta Municipal Hospital

Description

Evidence suggests that uptake of three doses of intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp 3) of malaria using Sulphadoxine pyrimethamine (SP) drastically reduces maternal parasitemia, lowers the risk of low birth weight and increases mean birth weight. However, in Keta Municipal Hospital (KMH) the median percentage of pregnant women taking IPTp-3 in 2022 was as low as 69.7%.
