A sample size of 103 respondents was selected from the targeted population through simple random sampling. The researcher then analyzed the data by employing a statistical package for social science (SPSS). Through the results, the researcher found that the unavailability of female specialties was a major reason that became a hurdle for women to access healthcare services. The situation of the poor basic health of women showed the failure of health ministries/departments to provide basic healthcare in rural areas.
