dc.description.abstractThis study showed that pregnant women had only average knowledge about malaria in pregnancy and intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp), and this is likely reflected in low IPTp coverage. Campaigns that provide educational messages on the risk of malaria during pregnancy and the usefulness of IPTp need to be emphasised. The research aimed to determine factors affecting accessibility, availability and utilisation of malaria interventions among women of reproductive age in Kilosa district in central Tanzania. As well, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) stock-outs and lack of qualified health workers were common in all health facilities in the district.en
