Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this is to determine the impact of intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) on the morbidities associated with malaria in pregnant women and newborns in rural peri-urban areas of Bobo-Dioulasso, 5 years after its implemented.
Detailed Description
Malaria in pregnant women is a crucial issue in Burkina Faso. Faced with this problem, a strategy based on the use of treated nets and intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) based on sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) was adopted in 2005.
