Abstract：
India\'s nationwide lockdown to curtail the transmission of Covid-19 has given rise to concerns over the health system\'s response to maternal and child health (MCH) services. This paper aims to understand the challenges faced by pregnant women seeking institutional care during the lockdown. We conducted a qualitative content analysis of 54 online news reports, published in English and Hindi, between 25 March 2020 and 31 May 2020. They covered cases across 17 states in India and 16 maternal deaths. Three broad thematic categories of challenges for pregnant women emerged from the analysis: 1) physical access to health facilities, 2) admission to health facilities, and 3) lack of respectful maternity care during the lockdown. In conclusion, strengthening health systems and incorporating MCH into the Covid-19 response is imperative. Failure to provide quality MCH services during the lockdown has implications for the continuum of women\'s care, maternal mortality, and human rights.
摘要：
印度在全国范围内封锁以减少新冠肺炎的传播，这引起了人们对卫生系统对母婴健康(MCH)服务的反应的担忧。本文旨在了解在封锁期间寻求机构护理的孕妇所面临的挑战。我们对54篇网络新闻报道进行了定性内容分析,以英语和印地语出版，2020年3月25日至2020年5月31日。他们涵盖了印度17个州的病例和16例孕产妇死亡。分析中出现了孕妇面临的三大类挑战：1）实际获得保健设施，2)进入卫生设施，3)封锁期间缺乏尊重的产妇护理。总之,加强卫生系统，并将MCH纳入Covid-19的应对措施是当务之急。在封锁期间未能提供优质的妇幼保健服务对妇女护理的连续性产生了影响，孕产妇死亡率,和人权。
