WHO recommends that health facilities provide access to treatment with praziquantel to control morbidity due to schistosomiasis in all infected individuals regardless of age, including infected pregnant excluding the first trimester, lactating women and pre-SAC aged < 2 years. The decision to administer treatment in children under 2 years of age should be based on testing and clinical judgement.
