Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval for this study was obtained by the Science Committee of EMGO in the Netherlands, and the National Health Science Research Committee of the Ministry of Health in Malawi (NHSRC#15/03/1398). Written informed consent was gained prior to the interviews and FGDs. Healthcare providers were only consulted when not serving patients, to ensure minimal disruption of care-provision. These providers were interviewed by only the researchers, without others present, to enhance confidentiality. To protect the identity of the facilities and participants, identity codes were used in data management, analysis and reporting. In transcripts, no names of persons, health facilities and places were mentioned to ensure anonymity further.
: No individual persons’ data or images were reported in this manuscript.
