Background: Intermittent presumptive treatment of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp) is one of the recommended interventions by World Health Organization to mitigate the impact of malaria in pregnancy in malaria stable transmission zones such as Sub Saharan regions so as to ensure the best outcome for both the mother and her unborn child. In line with the Zambian policy in malaria control, Sesheke District started implementing IPTp in the year 2003 as one of the methods to combat malaria in pregnancy. This intervention augments the use of Insecticide treated mosquito nets (ITNs) to prevent malaria transmission and early case detection and effective case management of malaria. Despite the availability of IPTp services in all the health facilities in district, the uptake of IPTp is still very low especially for the second and third doses of IPTp (fansidar).
