Country Briefs: Preserve Essential Health Services during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Details
Essential health services for women and children in many lower-income countries are being disrupted by COVID-19, according to new findings released by the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF), using the most extensive quantifiable data available to date. Disruptions in care for pregnant women and new mothers, and safe deliveries by skilled health workers were also seen in several countries. Maintaining essential health services during the COVID-19 pandemic is critical to prevent these severe outcomes and protect the gains made over the past years in reducing maternal and child mortality.
These country briefs present modeling estimates using the Lives Saved Tool (LiST) model show that COVID-19-related disruptions could leave many women and children without access to essential services and result in increased maternal and child morbidity and mortality in GFF-supported and eligible countries.
