HealthNest conference resources
In this section, you can find the different congress materials of the HealthNest conference on 12th of June.
HealthNest whitepaper:
Accelerating health literacy
In this whitepaper, we explore the pressing matter of health literacy. On the one hand, we provide a comprehensive framework for organisations to implement initiatives with the purpose of addressing health literacy. And on the other hand, we specifically turn to policy makers in Belgium and discuss their potential roles. Health literacy is not merely a patient concern but a social imperative. In an age of complex healthcare systems and information overload, organisations as well as policy makers must actively engage in strategies that address health literacy, reduce disparities, and foster better community well being.
