Abstract:
Ethiopia’s official policy remains to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030, targeting an 80%
UHC index. This ambition is rooted in the Health Sector Transformation Plan II (HSTP II, 2020/21–2024/25),
the Health Care Financing Strategy 2022–2031, and the National Health Equity Strategic Plan, all of which
position primary health care (PHC) as the foundation for equitable service delivery and financial protection.
