UNFPA supports safe pregnancy and delivery for all in the midst of the pandemic

COVID-19 has disproportionately affected women and girls, thereby exacerbating existing inequalities. With unemployment rising, support networks disrupted, and lack of access to reproductive health information and services, there is a fear that this will result in an increase in unintended pregnancies, child marriage, school dropouts and sometimes, maternal mortality.
As part of the Covid-19 response, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) together with the Government of Australia is supporting capacity development initiatives of reproductive health service providers. In order to minimise the impacts of service disruption to maternal and child health care, UNFPA partnered with Maldives National University to train health service providers.
