Critical View of Health Literacy : Prof .Stephan Van den Broucke บรรยายใน 11 Annual Conference of the Asian Health Literacy Association Taichung 23-25 November 2025. It highlights that although health literacy has gained considerable momentum in research and policy circles, it still carries overlooked limitations and unresolved issues. The content raises the question of whether health literacy merely shifts the burden onto individuals rather than addressing the underlying social structures and determinants that shape well-being. It also presents the complexity of information that may produce negative outcomes — such as anxiety or distrust in the public health system — when patients possess a high level of knowledge. The conclusion emphasizes the need to develop critical health literacy, enabling people to effectively analyze and navigate their social environments, while calling for a concrete reduction of the gap between theoretical research and real-world policy implementation
