The early impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes: A national cohort study.

Aims: To describe the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on adults with T1D or T2D in the U.S.

"We are the ones who should make the decision" - knowledge and understanding of the rights-based approach to maternity care among women and healthcare providers.

Background: Experiences and perceptions of poor quality of care is a powerful determinant of utilisation of maternity services. With many reports of disrespect and abuse in healthcare facilities in low-resource settings, women's and healthcare providers' understanding and perception of disrespect and abuse are important in eliminating disrespect and abuse, but these are rarely explored together.

Methods: This was a qualitative study assessing the continuum of maternity care (antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care) at the Maternity Unit of Bwaila Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi.
