- Open AccessSafety of Tubal Occlusion by Minilaparotomy Provided by Trained Clinical Officers Versus Assistant Medical Officers in Tanzania: A Randomized, Controlled, Noninferiority TrialMark A. Barone, Zuhura Mbuguni, Japhet Ominde Achola, Annette Almeida, Carmela Cordero, Joseph Kanama, Adriana Marquina, Projestine Muganyizi, Jamilla Mwanga, Daniel Ouma, Caitlin Shannon and Leopold TibyehabwaGlobal Health: Science and Practice October 2018, 6(3):484-499; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00108
Trained clinical officers—nonphysicians with 3 years of specialized training—conducted the procedure safely and effectively compared with procedures performed by more advanced assistant medical officers. This evidence supports policy change allowing properly trained and supported clinical officers to perform minilaparotomy.
