The 2019 COVID-19 pandemic has made inequities in care, notably in reproductive health, even more pronounced. The effects of the financial crisis COVID-19 has caused on reproductive health, including as decreased access to contraception and prenatal care as well as unfavorable perinatal outcomes as a result of economic constriction, have received little attention. Therefore, in order to discuss how the current economic woes may affect reproductive health both now and in the future, we looked at the Great Recessio. There is compelling evidence to support the need for state and federal investment in comprehensive reproductive health care, according to the literature currently available on the effects of the economic downturn on reproductive health. Reproductive health is expected to be negatively impacted by policies that restrict access to programmes like Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children and Medicaid (WIC), extend Medicaid coverage to 12 months after childbirth, discontinue coverage for telehealth services, and lower access barriers through mobile care units.
