Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 has brought significant change to the lives of many. The fear to the uncertainty has affected the economy and health worldwide. In Malaysia, the care of pregnant mothers continues with major modification to the service. The lack of evidence on the impact of COVID-19 to mother and fetus has encouraged health experts to come to consensus and strategize plans to ensure adequate access, medication and medical aids can be given. The provision of optimum antenatal care will not be successful without the collaborative effort of various parties that possess similar interest.
