While evaluating such technologies, researchers often ignore women and health care provider perspectives. This study explored the views and experiences of women and healthcare providers regarding the use of advanced ultrasound technology to optimize the health of mothers and their babies in a rural community in mid-western Uganda.","url":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&db=mdl&AN=34620186&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513"}
