新冠肺炎大流行之所以被这样命名，是因为这种感染正在影响全球的每一个地方(世界卫生组织，2010年)。然而，考虑到约翰·霍普金斯大学协调的每日统计数据，东非报告的病例很少，与报告的病例数量相比，死亡率也相对较低(约翰·霍普金斯大学，2020年)。然而，肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚和乌干达这三个国家为应对这一大流行病而采取的行动差别很大，尽管这三个国家都根据有关国家的具体情况调整了产妇服务的提供。本文简要概述了大流行如何影响这三个国家的助产实践，这三个国家都已经经历了高新生儿和孕产妇死亡率(Hug等人，2019年)。
The COVID-19 pandemic has been named as such because the infection is affecting every part of the globe (World Health Organization, 2010). Yet taking account of the daily statistics coordinated by Johns Hopkins University, there have been very few cases reported from East Africa with death rates also relatively low compared with the number of reported cases (Johns Hopkins University, 2020). However, the actions taken by three countries, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in response to the pandemic have varied greatly although all have led to maternity service provision being adapted to the individual circumstances of the country concerned. This article provides a brief overview of how the pandemic has affected midwifery practice in each of these three countries, all of which already experience high neonatal and maternal mortality rates (Hug et al., 2019).
