Controlling measures like lockdown, social distancing, schools closure, Parent’s working pattern,loss of job and conversion of majority of government hospitals to Covid-19 care facility with limited or no provision of non-emergency & routine medical care has affected the health and health care seeking behaviour of the general population.
The children with different Cerebral Palsy are dependant to a varied extent on the care taker for home care, accessing health care facilities and community intervention services as per their disability severity. Thus, above changes have made them more vulnerable for the untoward consequences on physical and mental health.1,2
This case series describes experiences of parents (of children with Cerebral Palsy) during COVID-19 Pandemic and challenges they faced while taking care of their child.
