ABSTRACT
Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown resulted in the disruption of health services in Zimbabwe. The objectives of this study were two-fold. First, the study sought to determine the impact of the lockdown on maternal and perinatal outcomes at two tertiary hospitals in Harare, Zimbabwe, using a maternal audit. Second, the study sought to estimate the potential effect of COVID-19 related decreases in coverage of maternal and newborn health interventions on maternal, and neonatal mortality in Zimbabwe using the Lives Saved Tool (LiST).
