Abstract
Malaria accounts for high maternal and infant morbidity and mortality among pregnant women in Kenya. The country adopted World Health Organization’s recommendation of using insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and intermittent prevention treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) using sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) to prevent malaria in pregnancy (MiP). These interventions are provided free of charge in public health facilities yet their uptake remains sub-optimal. The objective of this study is to estimate the trend of coverage and inequality of opportunity (IOp) in the prevention of malaria among pregnant women in the Lake Victoria and Coastal Malaria stable areas in Kenya and establish the determinants of these inequalities.
