Lesotho's Human development index value for 2018 was 0.518 — which put the country in the low human development category —positioning it at 164 out of 189 countries and territories. Health care services in Lesotho are delivered primarily by the government and the Christian Health Association of Lesotho. Access to health services is difficult for many people, especially in rural areas. The country’s health system is challenged by the relentless increase of the burden of disease brought about by AIDS, and a lack of expertise and human resources. Serious emergencies are often referred to neighbouring South Africa. The largest contribution to mortality in Lesotho are communicable diseases, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions.

Serious emergencies are often referred to neighbouring South Africa. The largest contribution to mortality in Lesotho are communicable diseases, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions. The Human Rights Measurement Initiative finds that Lesotho is fulfilling 72.7% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income. When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Lesotho achieves 80.5% of what is expected based on its current income. In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 43.9% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income. Lesotho falls into the "fair" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling 93.8% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.
