Access to quality health information enables people to make informed choices and improves healthcare delivery in developing countries. However, numerous obstacles create significant difficulties for the elderly people when it comes to accessing health information. Therefore, this study sought to identify sources of health information and challenges faced by elderly people in Zimbabwe in accessing health information. This study concludes that elderly people rely on diverse sources of health information such as village health workers, broadcast media, and family members. This study concludes that orally transmitted health information was popular among elderly people due to difficulties in accessing print information sources. Several obstacles hinder access to health information among elderly people in Zimbabwe. These obstacles include low levels of education, poor road networks, limited healthcare workers, and inadequate health facilities, lack of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, misinformation, and affordability of health information, negative attitudes, cultural beliefs and ageism in healthcare. Furthermore, this study recommends targeted and inclusive health information services in Zimbabwe. Designing inclusive, culturally sensitive, age-appropriate health content is important in reaching diverse audiences. This can be achieved through strengthening the National Health Information System in Zimbabwe.                         Peer Review History: Received 8 June 2026;   Reviewed 7 July 2026; Accepted  11 August; Available online 15 September 2026 Academic Editor: Dr. DANIYAN Oluwatoyin Michael, Obafemi Awolowo University, ILE-IFE, Nigeria, toyinpharm@gmail.com Reviewers: Dr. Sheikh Abdul Khaliq, Department of Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmacy, Hamdard University, Karachi, Pakistan, drwadhsheikh1974@gmail.com Dr. George Zhu, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, sansan4240732@163.com 09 15 2026 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 10.22270/ujpr.v11i4.1636 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/view/1636 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/1636/2235 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/1636/2235 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/1636/2249 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/1636/2263
