Abstract
Malaria remains a significant public health issue in sub-Saharan Africa, with pregnant women being particularly vulnerable to its effects. Quantitative analysis using data from a randomized controlled trial conducted between January and December , focusing on 3500 participants randomly selected across the study area. Mobile health clinics significantly improved malaria prevention and patient outcomes in the study area, providing a viable model for other regions facing similar challenges. Expand mobile health clinic networks to underserved areas and integrate these services into existing healthcare systems to maximise their impact on public health.
