table_text: Malaria during pregnancy contributes to low birth weight, infant mortality, and other complications. To prevent malaria, pregnant women should receive IPTp (at least three doses of SP/Fansidar during ANC visits). While more than one-third (37%) of pregnant women received two or more doses of SP/ Fansidar, only 19% received three or more doses. IPTp increases with education. Only 13% of women with no education received three or more doses of SP Fansidar during their last pregnancy, compared with 26% of women with secondary or higher education.
