Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the Muhimbili National Hospital. The IRB granted a waiver of consent for collecting data. Given the low risk nature of the survey data, which was limited to overall program characteristics without individually identifying or personally sensitive information, additional ethics approval was not sought in each of the additional countries. However, all participants were advised that ethical review and approval had been obtained at the coordinating site, all participated voluntarily, and all agreed to publication of the collected data.
