Notes

NB: Since 2012, in countries with moderate to high rates of malaria transmission, WHO recommends intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) during pregnancy, with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) dispensed to all pregnant women at each scheduled antenatal visit, starting in the second trimester. This change in recommendation implies a change in the indicator. “
