Ethiopia is one of the developing countries striving to achieve universal health coverage using the health extension program (HEP). However, there is limited evidence on the utilization of the urban health extension program (UHEP), particularly in the northwest part of the country. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of urban health extension program utilization and its associated factors in Gondar administrative city, northwest Ethiopia.
