Declarations
:
: Ethical approval for this study was obtained from KEMRI Scientific Ethics committee (SERU#3335). All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations in the Ethics approval and consent to participate. Written informed consent was obtained from all the study participants. In this hospital-based ethnographic study, engagement and informed consent was a continuous process. Before data collection commenced in each hospital, the staff working in the respective newborn units, as well as the mothers present, were sensitised about the study. Subsequently, verbal consent for inclusion in the non-participant observations was obtained from those present in the wards as part of an ongoing process of discussions around the researchers’ presence on the NBU and the purpose of the work. For the discharge in-depth interviews, written informed consent was sought from the participants.
