Declarations

:

: Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional ethical review board of the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services (reference number IRB2023-06). Prior to each interview, each participant was briefed on the objectives, activities, and any potential risk associated with participating in the study. All participants were also informed of their rights to withdraw from the study at any point. Each participant received a participant information sheet, and we obtained written informed consent from each participant before each audio-recorded interview. Where there were language barriers, local translators were used to ensure that all participants fully understood the objectives and activities of the study before giving informed consent. An encrypted voice recorder was used to record the interviews, and all audio recordings were subsequently deleted after transcription of each interview. Data from the study was only accessible to the authors. The study was conducted in accordance with Helsinki’s declaration.
