Abstract
COVID-19 represents a great threat to public health in the 21st century so far, with the maternal and child (MCH) population being particularly vulnerable. With the healthcare workforce getting overwhelmed by a resurgence of cases, task-shifting approaches are a viable option to address the acute shortage of personnel for epidemic intelligence assignments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We propose an intensive and short-duration curriculum to train Doulas versed in MCH epidemic intelligence and capable of reducing the burden of COVID-19 and its consequences on the MCH population. The effectiveness of the proposed curriculum will be monitored using a rapid-cycle evaluative approach to ascertain progressive enhancement over time.
