Declarations
:
: The Senate Research and Publications Committee of the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences awarded the ethical approval to conduct the study (DA.282/298/01L/Reg. No. 2019-04-13280). We requested permission to access patients’ information from the Executive Director of Muhimbili National Hospital. Our study involved review and analysis of secondary data and did not require direct interaction with participants, hence we did not request the participants’ consent. We ensured the participants’ information was handled with confidentiality and privacy, by using special identification codes instead of the patients’ names.
