Healthcare affordability remains major hurdle for Tanzanians: Afrobarometer survey

Dar es Salaam. Despite increased government efforts to boost access to social services, a significant portion of Tanzanians are still grappling with serious obstacles in accessing affordable healthcare, according to Afrobarometer Dispatch No. 992.

The survey shows that while 68 percent of Tanzanians acknowledge improvements in basic health services, only 60 percent of those who visited public health facilities in the past year said they were able to obtain the services they needed with ease.
