This essay aims to reflect on the repercussions of the pandemic in obstetric care in the light of sexual and reproductive rights, focusing on delivery and birth care.
The reflection shows that the pandemic has accentuated the violation of these rights, which is evidenced by racial inequalities in maternal mortality, as well as restrictions and interventions in childbirth care without scientific evidence, detour of resources, interruption of services, reduced human resources, shortage of medicines and supplies, and imbalances in the provision of health services.
It is concluded obstetric care faces even greater barriers in access to health care, just as the pandemic of COVID-19 highlighted inequities, disproportionately impacting vulnerable populations whose human rights are less protected.
本文旨在从性与生殖权利的角度出发,反思疫情对产科护理的影响,重点关注分娩与生育护理。
反思表明,疫情加剧了这些权利的侵犯,这表现在孕产妇死亡率方面的种族不平等,以及在没有科学证据的情况下限制和干预分娩护理、资源转移、服务中断、人力资源减少、药品和用品短缺以及卫生服务提供的不平衡。
产科护理在获得医疗保健方面面临更大的障碍,而 COVID-19 大流行则凸显了不平等现象,这对人权保障较少的弱势群体造成了不成比例的影响。
