Health systems analysis and evaluations of the barriers to availability, utilisation, and readiness of selected sexual and reproductive health services in COVID-19 affected areas

The project “Health systems analysis and evaluations of the barriers to availability, utilisation and readiness of selected sexual and reproductive health services in COVID-19 affected areas” established by the Reproductive Health and Research Department of World Health Organization, aims to identify the key gaps and barriers to the delivery of sexual and reproductive health services. The findings will provide a better understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on contraception, abortion care, treatment and care of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and care and support for women who experience(d) gender-based violence.

The University is part of a global team of researchers from countries around the world including Italy, China, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Thailand, Ghana, Pakistan, and Brazil.
