Abstract
While many essential factors affect maternal and child health, we can also add the coronavirus pandemic that deeply
affects maternal and child health. The economic and social changes experienced globally due to this pandemic, advances
in science and technology have shaped the health policies of countries and have led to some changes in the roles and
responsibilities of midwives, who take an active role, especially in the development of maternal and child health and
the provision of care services. The result of maternal and child health means developing family health first and then
community health. For this reason, it is vital to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on maternal and child health,
determine its adverse effects, take measures that can serve to improve these effects, and know the role of midwives in
improving maternal and child health during the pandemic period. This review aims to investigate the midwife's role in the
development of maternal and child health services during the pandemic period.
