The article discusses research investigating the effectiveness of antenatal clinics (ANC) in Kenya to deliver intermittent-preventive-treatment (IPTp) of the malarial drug sulphadoxinepyrimethamine (SP) and insecticide treated nets (ITNs) for the control of malaria in pregnant women in Kenya's Nyando district. Topics include the consequences for mother and baby of malaria in pregnancy, the research methodology, and a discussion of the challenges of delivering IPTp through ANC versus ITNs and its impact on low birthweight (LBW).
