Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has posed an unprecedented global challenge, affecting individuals of all ages and demographic groups. Among the most vulnerable groups are pregnant women, whose specific physiological and immunological conditions place them at increased risk for complications related to the viral infection. In the context of obstetric care, Lucrecia Paim Maternity has emerged as a hub for the care of pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Located in Luanda capital city of Angola, the maternity has played a crucial role in the assessment, monitoring, and treatment of pregnant women affected by the virus. In this context, understanding the complications of COVID-19 in pregnant women becomes imperative to inform clinical practices, public health policies, and effective interventions. This study aims to investigate and analyze the complications faced by pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 at Lucrecia Paim Maternity during the year 2021.
