Inequality in Public Health Spending and Access to Healthcare Services in Zimbabwe: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Zimbabwe needs to aim for universal health coverage, with good quality, affordable care for all, regardless of geographical location or socioeconomic status. Achieving this requires not only sustaining but strategically strengthening current efforts. There is room to improve and augment efforts to achieve universal health coverage without leaving anyone behind. Broader health financing mechanisms and infrastructure investments should be explored to bridge the gap in access to services. Policymakers should, therefore, improve resource allocations in the health sector to achieve equality in government spending and access to healthcare services, ensuring that investment translate into equitable health outcomes for all.
