Equity and coverage of insecticide-treated bed nets in an area of intense transmission of Plasmodium falciparum in Tanzania

Jubilate Bernard, George Mtove, Renata Mandike, Frank Mtei, Caroline Maxwell, Hugh Reyburn Malaria Journal 2009, 8:65 (16 April 2009)

Marked inequity persists with the poorest households still experiencing the highest risk of malaria and the lowest ITN coverage. Abolition of this inequity within the foreseeable future is likely to require mass interventions.

Timing of intermittent preventive treatment for malaria during pregnancy and the implications of current policy on early uptake in north-east Tanzania

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.
