To know the effectiveness of Insecticide Treated Nets (TNs) and Intermitten Preventive Treatment in preventing malaria during pregnancy. Review of several literatures and journal s about the effectivenes of TTNs and IPT in preventing malaria during pregnancy. Review for 16 literatures about malaria during pregnancy and several studies about the use of TTNs and IPT in preventing malaria during pregnancy was performed. From all of the methods for preventing mosquitos bites, the use of TTNs were probably the most effective method. Previous studies indicate that among gravida 1 – 4, the use of ITNs lowered the paracitemia rate for 38% and severe anemia for 47%. During labor, mean hemoglobin level were 0.6 g/dl higher, and the placental and maternal malaria were lowered for 35%. For the newborms,. TTNs help by lowering the incidence of low birth weight (low birth weight prevalence were lowered for 28% in gravida 1-4) lowering the risk of anemia in the newborns, lowering the risk of neonatal death promoting the growth and development during the first weeks after birth. For IPT, studies also indicate that this strategy was effective in preventing malaria during pregnancy because it could lower the risk of severe anemia in primigravida living in malaria area. Even pregant women who just got 1 dose due to the delay of atenatal care, they significantly got benefit from this intervention. Pregnant women is one of the high risk group for geting malaria infection. Due to the severe complication that could for geting malaria during pregnancy and lots of women could not get the access for effective intervention, preventing malaria during pregnancy is very important. Malaria during pregnancy could be prevented affecttively by using ITNs and getting IPT. If malaria during pregnancy happens, very important to know whether it is with or without compliction, because the one without complication is very easy to treat, but the one with complication requires specialystic care in the tertiary health care facility.
