@healthheralds: 🚨 4.5 billion people lack access to essential health services. More than half the world’s population is not fully covered by basic care, according to the 2023 WHO x World Bank Universal Health Coverage Report. 🧠 Nearly 9 out of 10 adults in the U.S. struggle with health literacy. That means most people have a hard time understanding and using health information. ⠀⠀ And it gets harder with age: Over 56% of adults 75+ have “Below Basic” health literacy. As people age, their ability to navigate the healthcare system often declines. 📉 Low health literacy is linked to poor health outcomes, higher hospitalizations, and preventable deaths. ⠀⠀ 🌍 This is a global responsibility we must understand and address through education, research, and community collaboration. ⠀⠀ #healthliteracy #globalhealth #publichealth #healthcareaccess #healthequity #healtheducation #healthstats #healthcommunication #preventivecare #primaryhealthcare #globalwellness #viral #foryou #socialimpact
