Declarations
:
: The study team received ethical approval to conduct the quality of care baseline study from the National Health Research Ethics Committee in Nigeria and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Institutional Review Board (IRB Study # 006632). Both ethics committees approved the procedure for oral/verbal consent for this study because study participants were also receiving health care at the facility and have limited time to spare. Oral/ Verbal informed consent was obtained from both the health providers observed and/or interviewed and clients observed as described in the consent script embedded in each tool and participants consent were recorded on the tool before commencing the observation and/or interviews. However, in situations where obtaining consent from a client was impractical, observation was not done.
