Effects of a gender-responsive maternal, newborn and child health program on health and economic outcomes during Covid-19 in Kenya
A mixed-methods study
Bibliographic Data
The Chamas program effectively sustained maternal and child health practices during the COVID-19 pandemic through adapted CHW support but showed limited ability to protect members from economic hardship. This demonstrates both the resilience and limitations of community-based interventions during widespread crises. Our results highlight the need for robust governmental support and social protection measures to address underlying economic vulnerabilities for women. Future pandemic preparedness should integrate CHWs into formal health systems and focus on strengthening linkages with formal financial systems while supporting CHWs' role in reducing inequities in maternal and newborn health service delivery during crises
