Disrespectful Maternity Care During the <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Study in Chandigarh and Kalyani, West Bengal, India
Almost a third of the mothers in our study reported disrespectful maternity care, and the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact this proportion. Our findings highlight the need to reduce non-dignified care and provide financial assistance to mothers during delivery to avoid detention during public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
