Maternal and Child Health During COVID-19
Since the COVID-19 outbreak began, the AHA has worked to keep members informed with pertinent information and resources to combat this pandemic. To help hospitals and health systems address maternal and neonatal health during this public crisis, the AHA has assembled resources from across the field that you may find useful as you provide safe and high-quality care to mothers and babies during this time. We will continue to periodically update these resources.
