Although there is no vigorous evidence that pregnant women are in the high-risk groups in response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is crucial to respond to the pandemic through providing required action plans for confirmed or suspected pregnant women cases while maintaining routine functions. Iran\u2019s response and preparedness measures to COVID-19 aimed to meet the essential needs required to protect pregnant women and their families. Establishing a national maternal health network, relying on mechanisms for timely reporting, monitoring, and following-up, preparing guidelines and protocols required for COVID-19 management in pregnant women though a multidisciplinary team working approach, and embedding the precautions of reducing transmission in maternity care were the main measures taken to cope with COVID-19 in pregnancy. Iran\u2019s experience in providing maternity care during the COVID-19 can guide other countries affected by COVID-19. However, it should be adapted to local health-care facilities, as well as in response to any further updates on COVID-19.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/aim.2020.59","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,4]],"date-time":"2020-09-04T07:26:16Z","timestamp":1599204376000},"page":"557-560","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Provision of Critical Maternity Care during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic in the Islamic Republic of Iran"],"prefix":"10.34172","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3808-6594","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nasrin","family":"Changizi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal, Fetal and Neonatal Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran & Maternal Health Department, Population, Family and School Health Office, Deputy of Health, Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alireza","family":"Raeisi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran & Deputy of Health, Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hamed","family":"Barekati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Population, Family and School Health Office, Deputy of Health, Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abbas","family":"Habibolahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Health Department, Population, Family and School Health Office, Deputy of Health, Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0897-4080","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Haniye Sadat","family":"Sajadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Knowledge Utilization Research Center, University Research and Development Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nezhat","family":"Emami-Afshar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal Health Department, Population, Family and School Health Office, Deputy of Health, Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laleh","family":"Radpooyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal Health Department, Population, Family and School Health Office, Deputy of Health, Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"20123","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,1]]},"container-title":["Archives of Iranian Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.aimjournal.ir\/PDF\/aim-23-557.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/www.aimjournal.ir\/PDF\/aim-23-557.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,4]],"date-time":"2020-09-04T07:26:17Z","timestamp":1599204377000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.aimjournal.ir\/Article\/aim-16918"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/aim.2020.59","relation":{},"ISSN":["1029-2977","1735-3947"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1029-2977","type":"print"},{"value":"1735-3947","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,1]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Academy of Medical Sciences of the I.R.
