Uptake of Intermittent Preventive Treatment and Its Associated Factors Among Pregnant Women in Cameroon: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to prevent malaria-related complications.
