Compendium of COVID-19 related partner resources on women's, children's and adolescents' health

Last updated 4 May 2022

As we learn more and more about the impact and effects of COVID-19, an overwhelming amount of (and in some instances contradicting and/or false) information is being made available through various communication channels.

In such times, it is essential to stay informed of the latest guidance and resources around COVID-19 and its effects on women, children an adolescent health, from credible sources. PMNCH has therefore developed the below compendium of resources that brings together the latest evidence-based information on women, children and adolescent health in the context of COVID-19.

This compendium will be developed as a living repository of the most up to-date guidance from UN Agency Constituency, especially WHO.

Disclaimer: This is to inform our readers and members that given PMNCH is not a guidance generating organization, the resources listed in the below Compendium have been developed by our members and partners from the UN Agency Constituency. As a partnership hosted by WHO, PMNCH is only including resources in the compendium that are aligned with official WHO recommendations. PMNCH does not assume responsibility for vetting the guidance included in the Compendium.
