Lessons learned
Service provider’s (physicians and nurses) perspectives: (interview with 68 trained providers on MA 2008-2009 from six pilot districts)
• Feel confident minimum with 20 MA cases • Understanding a difference between

practicum and with real clients • How to handle women seeking TOP with HIV

Conclusion
The success rate without USG and
routine hemoglobin test in a population with high prevalence of anemia is an example of great importance for MA implementation in other low resource countries.
