Malaria remains a significant public health issue in Western Kenya, particularly during pregnancy when women are at higher risk of severe outcomes. A cross-sectional survey will be conducted with a sample of 150 healthcare workers from Western Kenya. Data collection will include self-administered questionnaires assessing awareness and adherence to recommended preventive measures. Initial analysis suggests that while most participants are aware of malaria prevention methods, there is variability in the implementation of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) during pregnancy. The survey aims to identify gaps in knowledge and practices related to preventing malaria among healthcare workers, which will inform targeted educational interventions. Healthcare providers should prioritise training sessions on effective malaria prevention strategies for pregnant women, emphasising the importance of ITN use and prompt diagnosis and treatment.
