The impact of Covid-19 on the maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition services
https://www.unicef.org/eca/reports/impact-covid-19-maternal-newborn-and-child-health-and-nutrition-services
Overall, changes in mortality in the ECA region due to service disruption have been mild. Data suggests that swift action to restore services was effective and able to limit any negative and unintended consequences of the global pandemic. One key element, related to disruptions in service, has been the degree to which healthcare workers were…, The impact of Covid-19 on the maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition services in the Europe and Central Asia Region UNICEF Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia Geneva, Switzerland Telephone: +41 22 909 5111 Email: ecaro@unicef.org ww.unicef.org/eca Cover photo: UNICEF/UN0338838/Zhanibekov United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF)…

Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on children and families in the Western Balkans and Türkiye
https://www.unicef.org/eca/mitigating-impact-covid-19-children-and-families-western-balkans-and-t%C3%BCrkiye
There is abundant evidence that children bear a heavy burden resulting from disrupted essential services, increased social isolation, and loss of family income. In pandemic times, parents and caregivers are more likely to feel overwhelmed with providing stimulation and care for their young children and delay seeking prompt medical attention for children. Childhood immunization and other basic services were often suspended. School closures can mean a year of lost learning and children become more susceptible to dropping out. Uncertainties have created family distress, which contributes to serious mental health issues, especially among children who are vulnerable to violence and abuse. The pandemic has deepened pre-existing vulnerabilities of children with disabilities and children living in poverty. In 2021, UNICEF and the European Commission Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations launched a two-year initiative to strengthen national health, education, early childhood development, and child protection systems to ensure continuity in the provision of core services for vulnerable children and their families in the immediate and the longer-term recovery response to COVID-19. The initiative is being implemented in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo* [1] , Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Türkiye.
