Health literacy: the key to equal care

Did you know that one in three Belgians has insufficient health literacy?

This means that it is a challenge for them to find, understand, critically assess, and apply health information to their own situation. This has a major impact on their health and on the quality of care.

As a healthcare organization, we can make a difference in this regard. Clear communication, both online and offline, and a health-literate approach ensure that patients can make better-informed choices and become more actively involved in their care.

Becoming a health-literate organization is achievable, but requires insight, commitment, and a well-thought-out policy.

During this knowledge and inspiration day, you will discover how to concretely strengthen health literacy within your hospital, community health center, or GP practice. Be inspired by experts and practical examples, and take the step towards more accessible and inclusive care together with us.
