Please see these timely messages from WHO which emphasize elements of respectful care related to COVID- 19 including supporting positive birth experiences, breastfeeding and not separating women and their newborns (unless medically indicated). We have heard of many examples from across the world of women being separated from their newborns, not allowed a birth companion etc – so these messages are very much needed.
