Another strategy for malaria preven

Another strategy for malaria prevention and control among
pregnant women advocated by Uganda is the promotion of
ITNs. The study results show that use of ITNs, indeed any
beds nets, was very low among pregnant women, in
agreement with the 2006 UDHS which reported that only
23.2% of pregnant women had slept under any bed net the
night before interview. The average price of US$5 per bed
net means that few households can afford to provide these for
pregnant women or other members of the household. This
further underlines the need to integrate public health
interventions against anaemia with anti-poverty strategies.
