On July 23, 2020, MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership held a webinar with leaders from Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, and Ghana to discuss how countries can best mitigate disruptions to child health and immunization services amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants learned about the dramatic recovery of health service utilization in Bangladesh due to national guidelines on vaccinations, child health services, and increased capacity building for providers to prevent and control infections.
