Evaluation of Midwife‐Led Colposcopy for Female Genital Schistosomiasis Screening at Primary Level of Care in Rural Madagascar: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Abstract

Midwives can detect female genital schistosomiasis with high sensitivity but limited specificity when compared to expert gynaecologists, revealing variation in performance between environments as well as the influence of practice and workload. This study suggests that implementing midwife-led colposcopy at primary care level for female genital schistosomiasis screening is feasible but requires appropriate quality assurance measures.
