Cholera

If you are entering Madagascar from a Cholera-affected country, you may be asked by airport authorities to take an anti-cholera drug (Doxcyline). Anyone who is unable to take Doxcyline should be offered an alternative medication by the health authorities.

Alternative medication will be provided to those that:

• are pregnant
• are under 8 years old
• have a pre existing medical condition

You are likely to be asked to leave contact details with the health authorities and they may follow up with you after 3-5 days.

If this applies to you, you must complete 21 days of quarantine and health monitoring at an approved location. You must pay for your accommodation, food and transport.
