and trained personnel available for these roles and the view of respondents concerning impediments to fulfilling the role. Results: There was a valid 71% response rate of the 56 accredited centres. Thirty five percent of the centres had established subspecialty units. Only 10% had fully functional ultrasound service that catered for over half of their clients. Half of the responding centres did not have any ultrasound scan machines and these too lacked any trained personnel in ultrasound in the department. It was a near consensus that the respondents supported the drive towards an obstetrician led ultrasound scan service but majority cited lack of protocols, trained personnel and dedicated time as major impediments to achieving this ideal. Conclusions: There is a lack of preparedness for domestication of obstetric ultrasound service and training in the obstetrics and gynecology department. There is the need to promote available centres of excellence in the service to address the acute shortage while more personnel are being sent for further studies in ultrasound to expand the frontiers of the service and training.
