Protecting the well-being of citizens becomes the focal governance agenda of Addis Ababa city administration particularly at the local level. Hence, increasing the degree of accessibility to health is fundamental to promote and maintain the well-being of the people. As a result, Addis Ababa city government has made substantial efforts to improve health accessibility. Among others, decentraliinging the health management to local governments was one. This study thus aimed to assess the perception of the respondents on access to health at sub-city and Wereda level. Hence, the study used descriptive and exploratory research methods.
Consequently, an open and closed-ended questionnaire was used to gather data from 385 sampled respondents. The findings show that access to health facilities and services has improved while the financial affordability is yet the primary concern of the people. Hence, the government must develop a comprehensive approach to further enhance the facilities and service accessibility at the local level.
