Routine antenatal ultrasound by nurse-midwives in rural Kenya: a pragmatic trial assessing feasibility and effects of the Mimba Yangu (My Pregnancy) project
Our analysis provides evidence of the feasibility, acceptance, and positive effects on service availability of providing ultrasound at the primary care level delivered by nurse-midwives. Scalability and feasibility of such an intervention are critical to global health but will demand policy reforms to allow task-sharing at national and sub-national levels.
