Hi,

With colleagues, I am conducting some research looking at COVID-19 guidance for pregnancy, maternal, and newborn care to see how supportive or unsupportive they are of skin-to-skin contact, maternal-infant proximity and breastfeeding. We are collecting government guidance where Ministries of Health have approved guidance or professional organisation guidance (e.g. Associations of Obstetricians etc) where they have not. I am having particular difficulty locating guidance from African countries. At this time I only have guidance from Botswana, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Morocco. If people could send me (k.gribble@westernsydney.edu.au) or direct me to guidance from any other African countries I would be very grateful. It does not matter what language they are in.
