Malaria in Pregnancy Reference Manual and Clinical Learning Materials

The Malaria in Pregnancy reference manual and clinical learning materials are intended for skilled providers who provide antenatal care, including midwives, nurses, clinical officers, and medical assistants. The clinical learning materials compose a 2-day workshop designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills needed to prevent, recognize, and treat malaria in pregnancy as they provide focused antenatal care services.

The reference manual includes essential information on the following topics:

The participant’s guide contains the course schedule, questionnaires, case studies, role plays, learning guides, and checklists.

The facilitator’s guide includes the content of the participant’s handbook as well as answer keys, guidelines for conducting the workshop, and presentation graphics summarizing the content of the reference manual.

This workshop may be adapted to reflect local protocols. Where possible, it is recommended that one or more days of guided clinical observation and practice be added to the 2-day core workshop. A sample schedule and outline is provided for this purpose.
