Description
Solomon Oguta and a large team of co-authors studied why pregnant women still catch malaria despite preventive drugs, at a hospital in northern Uganda, in this 2024 study. All pregnant women in Uganda get a preventive drug from the fourteenth week of pregnancy, yet many still fall ill. The team surveyed mothers at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital to find the linked factors.
The study enrolled 350 women in mid-2023 and tested their blood with a rapid malaria test. Almost all said they slept under mosquito nets daily, but over half had not yet taken the preventive drug in this pregnancy, and nearly half were anaemic. The paper sets out the study design and these early findings, then weighs which factors track with infection. Results like these can guide clinics on where prevention breaks down.
