Declarations
:
: Ethics approval for this study was obtained from the Mozambican National Bioethics Committee for Health (Comité Nacional de Bioética para Saúde, CNBS). CNBS approved the protocol on 14 August 2023 (register number 52/CNBS/2023, see supplementary material). Any protocol modifications will be submitted for approval by the CNBS and will be communicated to relevant parties. Participants will be enrolled in the study after providing informed consent. The intervention is implemented pragmatically based on health services' real, local context. Suppose any adverse events occur with the patient during the intervention. In that case, they will be dealt with within the local health system, including referral to secondary or tertiary level health facilities if required. However, the interventions are deemed a negligible risk, and therefore, no compensation plan was put in place.
