Determinants of healthcare access among women aged 15–49 years in tanzania: a population-based cross-sectional survey

Only half of Tanzanian women of reproductive age had adequate healthcare access. Its positive determinants included having secondary and above education level, being covered by health insurance, belonging to richest households, residing in southern and coast zones and living in union. Negative determinants included residing in rural, coming from poor households and having no formal education. As a motive toward universal health coverage in Tanzania, the government should design targeted health interventions focusing on poor women in rural areas with low levels of education to improve the healthcare access for all.
