COVID-19 is a global emergency. Its effects on pregnancy and the newborn include the direct spread of disease to pregnant women and their babies and indirectly, the reduction in access to essential maternal and newborn healthcare services resulting in maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. The aim of the course is to provide healthcare providers with evidence-based recommendations for disease prevention and management of pregnant women and their babies during the COVID-19 pandemic and thereby lessen the adverse maternal and newborn outcomes from the disease.

This course, hosted by The Global Health Network, is available in English and Español.
