@WRAglobal A8: Respectful Maternal Care is Universal Human Right. Providers will be more stressed, given the increased workload from potential COVID-19 infections, inadequate personal protective equipment and an overstretched health system.

@GlobalWater2020 A3: Women are hesitating going to health facilities for seeking care due to concerns of COVID.
Most obstetric complications can be prevented or managed if women had access to a skilled birth attendant – doctor, nurse, midwife – during childbirth. #STChat

@WABAsecretariat @WRAglobal Birth companions play a number of roles in supporting women. They provide informational support about the process of childbirth, and bridge communication gaps between clinical staff and women. Companions also provide practical support, including encouraging women #STChat

@WABAsecretariat @WRAglobal Human rights should be protected at the context of COVID-19 also. Before, during and after childbirth all women have the right to high quality care. #SaferTogether #STChat
