Conclusion
Operational readiness leverage on robust well-designed contingency
protocols, so that they can be deployed without delay in real-life
situations or crisis. Such protocols will serve to maintain high
standards of obstetric care to our suspected or infected pregnant
mothers while ensuring the safety of our front-line healthcare workers.
Now that COVID-19 has been officially declared a pandemic, continuing
revisions of the pathways and algorithms are necessary to ensure the
appropriate counter-measures are developed and put in place to protect
maternal and child wellbeing as well as the safety of the healthcare
workers.
