The world has been hit by the coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic starting in November 2019 and progressing in the following months of March-June 2020. The coronavirus pandemic has caused general disruption in healthcare systems and facilities in general. Resources are deviated towards treating coronavirus affected patients and also lockdowns and curfews are implemented to contain the spread of the virus. This has caused a negative impact on health of women of all age groups and suffering from diseases as accessing health facilities is now a challenge. The closure of outpatients, operation theatres and wards has caused a delay or cancellation in treatment for many women.
