“Maternal and Child Health Services During COVID-

19 Pandemic at Health Clinics - Embracing the New
Normal” by Dr. Rozita Zakaria, KK Persint 18,

Putrajaya

Thank you for having me. First of all, a very good afternoon to everyone. I will be talking on
maternal and child health services during this COVID-19 pandemic at Health Clinic how we
embrace the new normal, so I shall share my slides.
So this is my topic (presentation title). When we talk about their vulnerability, we usually
refer to a person in need of special support or protection because of the age or the disability and
so forth and the risks as well. Generally pregnant mothers and children fall into this category as
they are at higher risk of getting into a situation, and we have lack of scientific knowledge on
this group of people as they are relatively less being included in research. Generally, we can
include them in the vulnerable group.
