Declarations
:
: Ethical approval was granted by the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) of Tanzania with Ref. No. NIMR/HQ/R.8a/Vol.IX/1986, Dalhousie University Institutional Review Board and the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH) with Ref. No. CST/ AD.69/227/2015. Permission to conduct research in these facilities was obtained from the Prime Minister’s Office, and Local Government. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. Informed verbal consent for the training in CEmONC and anaesthesia was obtained from all participating clinicians. The ethics committee (NIMR) approved this procedure because the training was considered as part of the clinicians’ continuing professional development and provision of CEmONC services as their job responsibility. There was no need for patient’s consent because this study was not designed to collect individual patient’s records, and no author had direct interaction with patients at any point in time. During clinical audits, patients’ and care providers’ names were anonymized.
