Abstract
In 2012, the WHO revised its recommendations and now necessitates that in addition to
LLINs, at least three doses of SP be given to all pregnant women at each scheduled antenatal
care visit (ANC) beginning as early as possible in the second quarter and given at intervals of
one month (Amankwah and Anto, 2019). These treatments are inexpensive and costeffective. However, access to and use of these interventions by pregnant women is extremely
low. The study therefore sought to ascertain the barriers and facilitators to the uptake of
malaria interventions among pregnant women in Yendi Municipality.
