TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Malaria Prevention in pregnancy in Tanzania
Official scientific title Effectiveness of the combination of dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine for prevention of falciparum malaria during pregnancy in Tanzania
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial About 30 million women living in malaria-endemic areas become pregnant each year. pregnant women are prone to malaria infection due to reduced immunity.
