Declarations
:
: Under the guidelines of the Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, ethical approval for the study was not required for this study because the authors conducting the analysis were not engaged in data collection and had access exclusively to fully anonymized data. Data for the population-based survey were collected by a local data collection agency within the framework of an agreement with IDOS and with approval from the National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI), license number NACOSTI/P/19/1408. Written informed consent was not warranted with the Kenya Health Information System (KHIS) data, as it is based exclusively on secondary, fully anonymized, aggregated facility-based data and does not fall under the category of human patient research. Nevertheless, authorization to use the KHIS data was obtained from the Ministry of Health, Kenya (Ref: MOH/ADM/1/1/129). This study adheres to all relevant guidelines and regulations concerning research involving human data.
