Maternal, Sexual and Reproductive Health in Marginalised Areas: Renewing Community Involvement Strategies beyond theWorst of the COVID-19 Pandemic. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 2022, 19, 3431. https://DOI.org/10.3390/ijerph19063431.1660-4601 (print)1661-7827 (online)10.3390/ ijerph19063431http://hdl.handle.net/2263/91912The COVID-19 pandemic and resultant lockdowns have brought unprecedented challenges for Maternal, Sexual and Reproductive Health (MSRH) services. Components of MSRH services adversely affected include antenatal, postnatal, and newborn care; provision of family planning and post-abortion care services; sexual and gender-based violence care and prevention; and care and treatment for sexually transmitted infections including HIV. Resuscitating, remodeling or inventing interventions to restore or maintain these essential services at the community level, as a gateway to higher care, is critical to mitigating short and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on essential MSRH. We propose a possible framework for community involvement and propose integrating key information, education, and communication of MSRH messages within COVID-19 messages.en© 2022 by the authors.
