Sexual, reproductive, maternal, and newborn health (SRMNH) services are lifesaving, essential, and time critical. During infectious disease outbreaks, health systems are disrupted and can collapse as resources are diverted to the response, while the SRMNH needs of the community persist.
READY, together with the Inter-Agency Working Group for Reproductive Health in Crises (IAWG) and the International Rescue Committee, has developed two companion guidance documents to support health actors to maintain critical SRMNH services during infectious disease outbreaks in humanitarian settings and to ensure SRMNH considerations are integrated within outbreak readiness and response.
Please join READY and IAWG for an exciting webinar launch on July 12th at 08:00 am EST / 13:00 GMT/ 15:00 EAT. Panelists from International Rescue Committee, UNICEF, and Population Reference Bureau will share their experiences providing SRMNH services during an outbreak and discuss how these guidance documents can be used in the preparedness and response phases to ensure health services for women and girls are maintained. There will be time for questions and answers from the audience as well.
