Loretta Brabin, Elizabeth Stokes, Isatou Dumbaya, Stephen Owens Malaria Journal 2009, 8:25 (12 February 2009) The paper gives an interesting insight into the local understanding of pregnancy and on how this may influence adherence to intermittent preventive anti-malarial treatment. Poor knowledge on foetal development, modern drugs and the IPT dosing schedule causes women to completely depend on health workers

They highlight a number of areas where remedial action by the Tanzanian Ministry of Health could lead to substantial improvements in coverage.

Katherine Anders, Tanya Marchant, Pili Chambo, Pasiens Mapunda, Hugh Reyburn Malaria Journal 2008, 7:79 (9 May 2008) The paper addresses a common misconception among health care providers and policy makers that late attendance to antenatal care is the single most important limitation for delivering intermittent preventive treatment for malaria. In addition they identify other constraints that may be more amenable to systemwide changes that could improve the delivery of this important health intervention. In particular, a lack of information of health workers on the reasoning for continued use of SP for IPTp, when national policy has replaced it as a first-line treatment.
