The effect of Ebola virus disease on maternal health service utilisation and perinatal outcomes in West Africa: a systematic review.
Zemenu Yohannes KassaVanessa ScarfDeborah FoxPublished in: Reproductive health (2022)
Based on our findings, antenatal care, institutional childbirth, and postnatal care are attempting to recover post-Ebola virus disease. We recommended that responsible bodies and stakeholders need to prepare locally tailored interventions to increase the number of women attending ANC, institutional childbirth, and PNC services post-EVD and future outbreaks including COVID-19. In order to build trust, creating community networks between health care providers and trusted community leaders may increase the number of women attending antenatal care (ANC), institutional childbirth and postnatal care (PNC) post-EVD and during future outbreaks. Further studies are needed to examine health centre and hospital availability and accessibility, and capacity to deliver maternal health services post-Ebola virus disease and future outbreaks.
