Maternal and child health nursing
whilst offering women opportunities for personal development and fulfilment, this also present inherent risks.
Pregnancy and childbearing
What/Who set a target of reducing the maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 deaths per 100 000 live births by 2030.
The Sustainable Development Goals
According to the Department of Health (2020), health program implementers in the
Philippines face the following challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic:
- insufficient human resource for full implementation of essential health services
- limited access to basic health services,
- misconceptions and fears on immunization, family planning side effects, HIV stigma among its users
- increased barriers to healthcare-seeking behaviors
- record-keeping, surveillance and reporting measures were hampered as existing resources were tapped to perform COVID19-related tasks.
When did the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern
January 2020
and eventually as a global pandemic by 11 March 2020 (Department of Health [DOH], 2021)
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, how many maternal deaths were estimated to have occurred worldwide in 2017
295, 000
The leading causes of maternal deaths
- severe bleeding after childbirth
- infections
- high blood pressure during pregnancy
- unsafe abortion
This can be reduced through family planning, better access to highquality antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care by skilled health professionals.
