Abstract

The article focused on maternal and child health during CORONA period. Health is an area of concern which is drastically affected by covid-19 and in most of the cases people couldn’t get services due to unavailability, negligence and fear of getting infection. Maternal health vastly affected during their antenatal, intranatal and postnatal period. It was very difficult to reach the health services during lockdown and go for COVID screening before any type of health assessment and care. Most of the mothers couldn’t seek medical care during their antenatal period due to inaccessibility and fear of getting illness. There was high rate of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Many studies were also conducted to show the impact of covid-19 on health services provided and attained by mothers and their babies. Results have shown diminished access to preferred health care and family support. It increases anxiety among mothers and causes indirect adverse affects on maternal and child health.
