The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant downstream effect on the accessibility and availability of SRHR services, and indirectly caused morbidity, mortality and other negative SRHR consequences. The overwhelming demands of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted into resources and staff being diverted from routine health care services to cater to curbing the pandemic. Government restrictions on movement and community gatherings also disrupted the delivery and access to life-saving care.
This research was therefore conducted by Reach A Hand Uganda in Mayuge district in Eastern Uganda to assess the impact of COVID-19 on young people's access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and services (SRHR) and how affected household incomes have further contributed to constraints on access to affordable SRHR health care.
