Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to malaria as pregnancy reduces a woman’s immunity to malaria, making her more susceptible to malaria infection and increasing the risk of illness, severe anaemia and death. These mothers to be were waiting for their routine pregnancy check in Puskesmas Way Urang, South Lampung.
