[JAMA Pediatrics @JAMAPediatrics]

18 country study in >2000 pregnant women with and without #COVID19 shows higher complication and death rates in symptomatic, but not asymptomatic, women with COVID-19. Their babies were at greater risk of neonatal complications, mainly due to preterm birth https://t.co/mRl8OOIMsz

The Improving Maternal Health Measurement Project, a program of @WHI_Harvard, has built the principle of country ownership into its work to strengthen maternal & newborn health measurement. Check out the first installment in a MHTF x IMHM blog series here: https://t.co/ZetfRPPm2J

#Mujeres ¿las que + contribuyen a la salud? #Hoy, @TheLancet destaca la necesidad de valorar el cuidado no remunerado de las mujeres y el papel esencial en la salud; algo que todavía no estamos haciendo @richardhorton1 A. Langer #DíaDeLaMujer @WHI_Harvard https://t.co/CNARevQnjf

"As you know, today is #InternationalWomensDay.

In many ways, women have suffered disproportionately from the #COVID19 pandemic.

We have seen appalling increases in violence against women, and reduced access to services for sexual and reproductive health"-@DrTedros

[W&HI @WHI_Harvard]

The W&HI is honored to be a sponsor at Harvard Chan's IWD in a time of Covid-19 event today. Covid 19 dramatically magnified pervasive gender disparities in health and wellbeing. Gender inequalities have now a visibility they did not have before the pandemic #IWD21 #HealthJustice

[W&HI @WHI_Harvard]

5 years after the @TheLancet Commission on Women and Health report was published, our messages still ring true. #Women's work is vital to health, but it is undervalued and unrecognized. This new editorial raises the issue again: Do we care about who cares? https://t.co/ErY3yJgHd3

[Felicia Knaul @FeliciaKnaul]

I care about who cares. On #InternationalWomensDay ask why the burden falls heavily on underpaid & unpaid @women. Read @TheLancet call2action 2care about who cares https://t.co/rMHyXZJgsY & https://t.co/EqUwkUHCua Thx @pam_das @richardhorton1 @beverleyessue ALanger @WHI_Harvard

[ACOG @acog]

BREAKING: @WHO quickly revised its recommendations on pregnant individuals receiving the #COVIDvaccine. ACOG continues to assert that ALL eligible pregnant individuals should be able to choose vaccination and we hope this change will give all patients added confidence. #COVID19

[W&HI @WHI_Harvard]

Dr. Ana Langer discusses conflicting advice on vaccinations for pregnant women, but it isn't as conflicting as we think. The CDC and the WHO agree women at high risk due to important exposure or comorbidities should get the vaccine. https://t.co/ux5LrnLqHY

[W&HI @WHI_Harvard]

In 2017, 10% of women and 16% of children worldwide lived close to, or were displaced, by conflict. Dr. Ana Langer, Director of W&HI, and colleagues expose evidence gaps in how armed conflict effects women's and children's health: https://t.co/ZJkJL0w5wb #WCHinConflict

[W&HI @WHI_Harvard]

New! @TheLancet #WCHinConflict Series explores the changing nature of war & conflict, its short & long-term health effects on women & children, strategies for identifying best responses, and interventions supported by in-country assessments & studies: https://t.co/xQeVOHumJB

[W&HI @WHI_Harvard]

Dr. Langer, Director of W&HI, and co-authors propose a common and context-specific framework for priority interventions to further support the health of conflict-affected women and children. Read: https://t.co/wjBhmbHxGD #WCHinConflict

[MHTF @MHTF]

Disrespect and abuse during pregnancy care violates the fundamental human rights of pregnant and parenting people around the world. Join the MHTF in exploring this issue with Harvard Chan's Ana Langer, and BUSPH's Eugene Declercq. https://t.co/muCKjjSaBb
