Pregnant women face heightened risk from malaria. Beyond the woman’s own health, malaria in pregnancy contributes to anaemia, low birth weight, and stillbirth. Intermittent Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy with Sulphadoxine-Pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) is one of the most cost-effective interventions in maternal and child health.

At Nexacare, we support facility-level IPTp delivery in line with the Nigeria Malaria Elimination Programme guidelines. Our pillar work covers test-then-treat discipline at the OPD bench, IPTp counselling at every eligible ANC contact from the second trimester onwards, and supportive supervision that helps providers maintain quality even when supply chains are stretched. We work with State Malaria Elimination Programmes and Local Government Health Departments to ensure that IPTp coverage rises alongside ANC attendance.

Test before treat. Counsel with respect. Document accurately. The discipline is simple; the impact compounds across millions of pregnancies.
