ABSTRACT
In any disaster-affected population, it is estimated that 3% of the total population will be pregnant, 3.5% will be lactating women and 15% will be adolescents. After Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in November 2013 it was estimated that there would be 95 270 pregnant women within the affected areas and 480 000 pregnancies in the year following. The disruption of access to reproductive health care after Haiyan meant that prenatal care, birth attendance, postpartum care and family planning services were urgently required as part of the response.
