Definition:
Percentage of women aged 15–49 who received intermittent preventive treatment for malaria during their last pregnancy (three doses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine during antenatal care) 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.
