In this formative qualitative study focused on HCWs, 2wT was a highly usable alternative to in-person postoperative reviews for patients who underwent VMMC in South Africa. The HCD processes likely improved the usability and acceptability of 2wT for HCWs. HCWs supported the scale-up of 2wT given the distance from the clinic to the men's homes and the potential for reducing workload. To ensure success, providers urged sensitizing patients to the fact that 2wT augments, but does not replace, the existing after-hours and emergency care services.
