Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is putting a pressure on global health systems. The disruption of essential health services (EHS) has an impact on the health of mothers, neonate and children in developing countries. Therefore, the main aim of this study was assessing the availability of Maternal, Newborn care and Child health (MNCHS) services at primary health care unit during COVID-19 outbreak.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in five regions of Ethiopia in 2021. Descriptive analyses were undertaken using STATA 16 software and the results presented using tables and different graphs. A continuity of EHS assessment tool adopted from WHO was used for data collection.

Result: During COVID -19 pandemic, 30 (69.8%) of woreda health offices, 52 (56.5%) of health centers (HCs), 7 (44.4%) of hospitals, and 165 (48%) of health posts (HPs) had a defined list of EHS. In comparison with other EHS, family planning is the least available service in all regions. At HPs level care for sick children and antenatal care (ANC) were available at 59.1 and 58.82% respectively. Except immunization services at SNNP, all other maternal, newborn, and child health EHS were not available to all HPs at full scale.

Conclusion: Immunization services were most available, while ANC and care for sick children were least available during COVID-19 at the HPs level. There was regional variation in MNCH EHS service availability at all levels.

埃塞俄比亚 COVID-19 爆发期间基层医疗保健单位提供孕产妇、新生儿护理和儿童保健服务的情况。
背景:COVID-19 大流行给全球卫生系统带来了压力。基本医疗服务(EHS)的中断对发展中国家母亲、新生儿和儿童的健康造成了影响。因此,本研究的主要目的是评估在 COVID-19 爆发期间初级卫生保健单位提供的孕产妇、新生儿护理和儿童保健(MNCHS)服务:方法:2021 年在埃塞俄比亚的五个地区进行了横断面调查。使用 STATA 16 软件进行了描述性分析,并使用表格和不同图表展示了分析结果。数据收集采用了世界卫生组织的连续性 EHS 评估工具:结果:在 COVID -19 大流行期间,30 个县(69.8%)的卫生局、52 个卫生中心(56.5%)、7 个医院(44.4%)和 165 个卫生站(48%)有明确的 EHS 清单。与其他保健服务相比,计划生育是所有地区提供最少的服务。在保健站一级,生病儿童护理和产前护理(ANC)的提供率分别为 59.1%和 58.82%。除南方各族州(SNNP)的免疫接种服务外,所有其他孕产妇、新生儿和儿童保健 EHS 均未向所有保健中心全面提供:结论:在 COVID-19 期间,在保健中心一级,免疫接种服务最多,而产前检查和患病儿童护理最少。各地区在各级提供的母婴保健和儿童保健服务存在差异。
