Abstract
ABSTRACT
COVID-19 has significantly impacted the world and Nepal is no exception. The
pandemic has caused a reduction in health service delivery, especially for women’s
health conditions, resulting in an increase in challenges for an already vulnerable
group. Maternity care, reproductive health services, preventive interventions,
nutritional advice and mental health care are not being addressed and with an
increase in domestic violence, the health and wellbeing of women in Nepal is
precarious and needs to be addressed immediately.
