The COVID-19 maternity survey team

An online global survey to track health works and COVID, developed by the Institute of Tropical Medicine of Antwerp.

Dear Midwives’ Associations,
Please see below an online global survey to track health works and COVID, developed by the Institute of Tropical Medicine of Antwerp.

The responses to the survey will help capture, document, and understand how the COVID-19 outbreak is affecting health professionals working to support women and their newborns.

The survey is currently available in English, French and Arabic. We foresee inclusion of other languages (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Bengali, Japanese) shortly. We hope that you can help us distribute it to your contacts and networks globally. This includes midwives but also other professionals, such as doctors (of various specialisations), nurses and other clinical staff, and community health workers/breastfeeding counsellors.

Thank you for helping us distribute this survey widely within your local and global networks.
