Health Literacy
Health literacy refers to the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions. It includes a range of skills such as reading, writing, numeracy, communication, and critical thinking, all of which are necessary for navigating the healthcare system and maintaining one's overall well-being. A high level of health literacy empowers individuals to advocate for themselves, follow medical instructions, and engage in preventive health practices.
