What is Health Literacy?
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Health Literacy is defined as:
Health literacy implies the achievement of a level of knowledge, personal skills and confidence to take action to improve personal and community health by changing personal lifestyles and living conditions. Thus, health literacy means more than being able to read pamphlets and make appointments. By improving people's access to health information, and their capacity to use it effectively, health literacy is critical to empowerment. (Health Promotion Glossary, 1998. https://www.who.int/activities/improving-health-literacy)
