Interim Technical Note Treatment of Cholera in Pregnant Women

This Interim Technical Note is designed to help clinical teams working in a cholera treatment structure provide the best care possible for pregnant women. Any woman with severe complications of pregnancy, not linked to cholera, including severe pre-eclampsia and ante-partum hemorrhage should be rapidly transferred to an obstetrical centre for more specialised care. The woman should be isolated from other patients and strict infection prevention and control (IPC) measures implemented to ensure no other women in the obstetrical centre are infected with cholera.
