Malaria and anemia are critical public health issues for pregnant women, particularly in endemic regions.

The average packed cell volume (PCV) for malaria-infected women was 26.25±2.12, indicating anemia, while malaria-free women had a PCV of 33.75±3.11. The findings underscore the necessity for regular antenatal check-ups and monitoring of hematological parameters to ensure maternal health and appropriate interventions for anemia.
