in west Africa, whereabout 6.4 million (39.3%) of an estimated 16.2 millionpregnant women had malaria infections
39.3% of pregnant women in West Africa moderate to high transmission countries had malaria infections in 2022. This seems surprisingly high. I haven't seen the regular case incidence for West Africa directly mentioned in this report, but I would expect it lower than the case incidence for Nigeria which I calculate as 30.5% (p202)
