Abstract

Intrapartum and postpartum care are essential to the health and well-being of mothers, infants, and families. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, resources have shifted away from providing preventative services for mothers and newborns. This study seeks to determine how COVID-19 has influenced women’s pregnancy and postpartum care, including where women want to get care, newborn immunization rates and newborn care, and identify effective public service delivery strategies during the pandemic. Results from this study will produce timely information to be shared directly with the Ministry of Health to inform public service delivery to pregnant and postpartum women.
