Declarations

:

: Our study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki. Ethical approval for this study was issued by the Institutional Ethics Committee of the George Institute for Global Health (Project Number 27/20).Prospective witnesses were contacted via e-mail and telephone. In addition to sharing a concept note outlining the theme and approach of the study, one-on-one virtual conversations were held with all the witnesses to align them with the methodology and to gather their feedback on the overall approach to the documentation. Upon finalising a mutually suitable date and time with the witnesses, the session format (agenda), prompting questions, participant information sheet and consent forms were shared via email with witnesses and wherever possible, written informed consent emailed back. For individuals who were unable to send their forms beforehand, written informed consent was obtained prior to the actual scheduled meeting, with a verbal confirmation at the start of proceedings.
