(Submitted: 30 April 2011 – Revised version received: 16 July 2011 – Accepted: 19 July 2011 – Published online: 27 September 2011.)
(...) The 109 medical settings recorded a total of 494 680 births from 2004–2008; 125 645 of these births occurred in 2008, and that year 57% (71 449/125 645) of the pregnant women who attended the 109 medical facilities received at least one syphilis test. Of the pregnant women in the sample who were not screened for syphilis, 61% (32 863/54 196) had attended prenatal clinics without syphilis screening capacity and 39% (21 333/54 196) had attended a clinic with screening capacity but had not been screened.
(...) Our data show that syphilis tests are not universally available in these settings, especially in hygiene stations, where many pregnant women receive prenatal care. 18
Studies in other contexts have also found low syphilis screening coverage among pregnant women.

Continuity of services in times of crisis
That day, FANJANIRINA Marie Luciane, 23 years old, was walking the steep path of Fianarantsoa (main town of the Haute Matsiatra Region, in the center of Madagascar) for almost an hour, wearing a mask to reach the Center of Anjoma Basic Health Center (CSB2) for follow up of pregnancy and receiving the second dose of tetanus toxoid vaccine.
(...) They actually have to walk for almost three quarters of an hour or over an hour, then to stand in line to receive care services before following the same path on the way back.
(...) Besides, it is my first pregnancy. So, I must receive medical follow-ups and get vaccinated normally,” added Luciane, who was happy with her decision.
