No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main aim of this study is to test the primary hypothesis that the addition of intermittent screening and treatment of malaria in pregnant women (ISTp) who receive routine antenatal care (ANC) in health facilities in high malaria transmission areas in Rwanda will reduce malaria prevalence among pregnant women when compared to routine antenatal cares services alone.

Conditions

  • Malaria in Pregnancy

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

IST

Women in the control group will receive routine care, which does not include testing for malaria with a rapid diagnostic test unless symptomatic for malaria. Women in the intervention group will receive this additional testing for malaria at each antenatal care, regardless of whether she is symptomatic for malaria.
