Declarations
:
: All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. Ethical approval was obtained from the Committee on Human Research, Publication, and Ethics (CHRPE) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) (reference number: CHRPE/AP/181/18) and the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital Institutional Review Board (reference number: RD/CR17/289). We anonymised information by giving pseudonyms to the participants in order to protect their identities and prevent third parties from tracing data back to participants. Written informed consent was provided to participants in order for them to voluntarily participate in the study after having read and understood the terms, risks and benefits associated with their participation. Also, the recorded interviews were encrypted to prevent third parties from having access to it. After debriefing each participant, each of them requested that the place of the interview should be near their place of work, which we consented to.
: Consent for publication and consent for participation in the study were obtained together.
: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
