There was no significant difference between CMA and NMT mean LNG implant scores during the monitoring visit (p = 0.088). 89.7% of CMAs had an average LNG implant insertion score above the MoH competency score of 85%, while 86.2% of NMTs had an average LNG implant insertion score above the MoH competency score of 85%
