Description
Catherine McGowan and co-authors review how service disruption is measured in a 2023 paper. Maternal and newborn services in poorer countries suffered badly during COVID-19. Most published measures track demand drops, not supply failure.
Supply-side disruption means clinics cannot offer care, whatever patients want. No guidance existed on measuring that side alone. The review gathered methods used across low and middle income settings. Approaches ranged from staffing counts to stock and readiness checks. Gaps and inconsistencies between methods were mapped in detail. Readers in health systems get a first inventory for a neglected measurement problem.
