"EIMC services were introduced with a high level of safety in Iringa region, but it was noted that successes in scaling up VMMC did not translate into immediate acceptability of EIMC. Babies born at home comprised less than 7% of the infants circumcised in the pilot project. Care-seeking behavior associated with EIMC, including age of the infant at circumcision and time of return for follow-up visits, varied significantly between urban and rural dwellers. Strategies such as EIMC outreach activities and the use of rural health outposts for follow-up visits to overcome geographic barriers should be explored when planning to expand EIMC services."
