<br/><br/> Abstract:<br/><br/>Introduction: Malaria prevention methods are diverse. Their availability sometimes does not guarantee effective usage and the use of each method in isolation may not provide the necessary results for the fight against malaria. Pregnant women are relatively more vulnerable and so it is recommended that they should be protected against malaria. Proper protection will require malaria prevention methods in combination. This study seeks to find out what methods are available and how many of them are used by pregnant women in preventing malaria morbidity and mortality. <br/><br/>Methods: This was a hospital based cross- sectional study using a semi-structured questionnaire. A sample size of 274 pregnant women attended antenatal clinic in Makongoro health center and Nyamagana hospital.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Use of malaria prevention methods in combination is not considered a priority by pregnant women. <br/>
