WHO's three-pronged approach says that pregnant women in stable malaria transmission areas should receive: an insecticide-treated net, intermittent preventive treatment, and prompt and appropriate treatment for malaria. Malaria incidence has dropped precipitously in some African countries. As countries consider changing strategies, the question remains whether capabilities are in place to detect and treat MIP, especially asymptomatic placental infections. This panel addresses four key issues for malaria in maternal health as efforts increase toward malaria elimination and the epidemiology of malaria changes.
