	<span lang="EN-US">Malaria
is one of the leading causes of death and disease worldwide, especially in the
developing world. Malaria which is transmitted by anopheles mosquitoes is a
preventable and treatable infectious disease. It kills more than one million
people each year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and other endemic areas. We have
conducted a survey in different maternity homes to check the rate of occurrence
of malaria during pregnancy and its complications in pregnant women, fetus and
new born. Medical reports of 100 patients have been studied and analyzed for
this purpose. Here we conclude that malaria can be prevented, diagnosed and
treated with a combination of available tools and sustained financing in these
pregnant ladies. A comprehensive approach consisting of protective nets, indoor
spraying with insecticide, preventive treatment for pregnant women, diagnostic
tests, effective drugs, education, research and advocacy is needed to combat
malaria. The major complication that occurs in expectant female is anemia, and
the major complication that occurs in newborns is cerebral hemorrhage. The best
and advanced treatment used most commonly nowadays for malaria is Artesunate
& its combinations.<o:p></o:p></span>
