Health Literacy Month

Health Literacy Month is a time for organisations and individuals to promote the importance of understandable health information.

This annual, worldwide, awareness-raising event has been going since 1999.

As people spend 60% of their day at work, the workplace is the ideal classroom to promote health literacy.

The theme for Health Literacy Month is “Be a Health Literacy Hero”. Health Literacy Heroes are individuals, teams, or organisations who not only identify health literacy problems but also act to solve them.
