Civil Society Representatives’ Blog 2 | Cultural and Religious Norms and Khulo Women’s Access to Healthcare Services

A study conducted in the summer of 2025 shows that women living in Khulo face a number of barriers to accessing healthcare services. The main challenges are related to the fact that some women hesitate to talk to doctors about various symptoms due to feelings of shame and associated stigmas. Women are also afraid of going to hospitals and undergoing medical examinations. This is especially true for women who have not received medical services for a long time. In addition, a lack of time due to household responsibilities further limits access. Respondents involved in the study did not identify specific religious barriers that prevent them from visiting doctors, but they did point to economic obstacles. Moreover, Khulo women name traditional folk medicine as an alternative to visiting a doctor.
