Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval has been received from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of Gondar.

However, a letter of support was obtained from the State Health Regional Office of Amhara. Permission letters were obtained from each hospital administration (University of Gondar, Felege Hiwot, Debre Tabor, Debre Morkos, Debre Berhan, and Dessie) and the respective ART hospital coordinators. All information was kept secret and no personal identifiers were obtained.
