We echo the World Health Organization’s 2019 call for greater support for those most vulnerable to malaria — pregnant women and children under five — and believe that strengthening existing health systems is one of the most sustainable approaches for doing so. Training and supporting midwives to diagnose, treat and record case management data on malaria presents a great opportunity to reach more pregnant women with life-saving treatment in a speedy and resource-efficient way, and to ensure data-informed decision making at all levels.
