Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts. One of the co-authors, Robert Don, works for DNDi which provided some of the financial support for the project. Dr. Don was involved in early stages of the study design and approved the manuscript. This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS policies on sharing data and materials.
