Protecting pregnant women against Malaria: Speeding up uptake to IPTp

Malaria in pregnancy, or MiP, is responsible for approximately 10,000 maternal deaths and 100,000 newborn deaths yearly.

Intermittent preventive treatment, or IPTp, can help to save the lives of both expectant mothers and their unborn children from malaria. In 2022, as part of efforts to increase access to IPTp for pregnant women, the malaria in pregnancy working group of the RBM Partnership to End Malaria therefore initiated the Speed Up Scale Up IPTp campaign.
